Java was my first prog lang in university. Profs said we would learn many more in our careers. Sounded reasonable to me, but I wanted to master #Java first. Thought this would take me 1-2 years. After 19 years I am still working on mastery and never looked back. #movedbyjava

“One of the things I strive to do is let students know early on there is no one way to solve a problem. I don't emphasize a particular language. But over the course, 80% end up using Java.“ –@venkat_s#MovedbyJava
Correction to a previous quote:
“One of the key values of the Java language is reading code is more important than writing code. Code that can be read can be maintained. Code that can be maintained retains its value.“ –@BrianGoetz#MovedbyJava
Twitter is also an active member of the Java community. Many of our features, optimizations, and bug fixes are committed back to the @OpenJDK project, and our engineers are members of both the Java Community Process (JCP) Executive Committee and the @OpenJDK Governing Board.
Twitter continues to be powered and #MovedByJava and we are excited to see where we, the @java community, go as we all evolve Java, Scala, and the JVM together.
