Are most of the Application Backends written in Java ? I have heard JEE is the enterprise standard.

What about this node.js thingy, does it actually compete with Java?

    Most backend stuff was written when node.js did not even exist.

    @nicofee So, it is like newer backends are written with node ?

    Hi.

    Most of the bigger applications are written with java or c#. These are the most scalable and reliable technologies for that purpose.

    Smaller backends, or mostly startups use node/python because how fast it is to deliver a mvp with them.

    Most of the companies have one big backend (usually in java), with a lot of smaller components mixed in with node/py/whatever.

    @sharktits Thanks 🙂

    I am learning implementing a Java Backend exposing a REST API.

    For the website's frontend, do I have any other options than JavaScript?

    ( like Java Code or C# code compiling to JS)

    There are multiple Languages that can be compiled to JavaScript. There is Typescript, which is quite similar to JavaScript. If you like Java you might be interested in Kotlin, which originates from Java

    If you want something cool, check out vaadin, it lets you create frontend with java
