I'm currently practicing data structures and algorithms (DSA) in Java and I'm interested in diving into Java for backend development. I've heard some people mention that Java is dying, which makes me uncertain about this path. Can anyone clarify why there's this perception and offer guidance on whether I should pursue Java backend development?

Honestly, the whole "Java is dying" thing usually comes from folks who aren't deeply involved in the industry. Java is still a solid choice!
Java is definitely not dying. It's still widely used, especially for enterprise applications and Android development. If you enjoy it, go for it! Plus, you'll find it easier to transition to languages like C# or Go later if you want to.
Glad to hear it! I'm considering Java too, your input helps a lot!
Thanks for the reassurance! It's good to know it's still relevant.
