What are the advantages of developing a Java server application over other languages?

Question

Our company begins developing a client-server application, and the discussion continues about which technologies should be used. For the client side (GUI), we are prone to QT and C ++. For the server side, we were recommended to use Java, and indeed, it seems that this is one of the languages ​​used in most cases for server development. Can someone clarify the advantages offered by Java for server-side development, and why adopting this should make our lives easier than developers, and / or allow us to achieve better results than if we used, say, .NET or even C ++? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Some advantages:

• Run compiled code on different platforms.
• Managed memory (garbage collection).
• Rich wealth of excellent open source discoveries.
• The market of large developers.
• Easy migration for C ++ developers.

Some disadvantages:

• Language of aging - does not keep up with the language advancement of IMO (for example, adds functionality).
• Uncertain future after Oracle aquistion (will become more clear over time).
• Low difficulty programming.

The advantages of Java in MHO are: widespread knowlege (this is also for .net), a huge number of real mature open-source frames (this is the point for Java against .net) and the use of a strong typed system and compiler that leads to fewer errors - this is a long-term advantage of Java and .net in all non-standard scripting languages)

A must have for all the languages ​​that you use on the server is garbage collection!
