Do you really think that majority of universities would switch to a language if they didn't think that it would be useful in the real world. Big call, but I would say no. There is a multitide of companies out there building good stuff with java and as I see it, its only going to get bigger.
I think its a bit rich to be implying that anybody how doesn't code C and C++ isn't a real programmer. I hope that you (roboshark) have something to base these accusations on and are not just taking a cheap shot at the language because you dont code it.
Ive come across a lot of C/C++ programmers that think highly of java as a language and can see real potential in the field. Im not saying to become a pure java programmer, but I certainly wouldn't write it off. IMO, if you wanna do well in this field, you need to get as many languages under your belt as possible and keep up the practice.
