You might need to rebase your assumptions. Big banking, big governments, big everything is big and use a lot of Java I guess.
I don't get what you're saying. I didn't say anything about Java being on top, except to specifically say that Tiobe is probably a reasonable approximation near the top. It's the "long tail" that I think gets especially hinky.
I guess I misread you as supporting andrewstuart2 and I'm sorry for that.
I have however not downvoted you, so if anyone did it was somebody else.
(btw: seems I've crossed some magical threshold and people seems to be upvoting almost anything I write now. Might be time to create a new account, again :-P)
