Many of the new frameworks/servers that are developed for running or |

managing clusters are written in Java, which is what he's referring to |

as far as I can tell. Hadoop, spark, hive, pig, marathon, cloudstack, |
8 |
zookeeper, and many more (see http://www.apache.org for plentiful |

examples) are all JVM-based languages. |

University students do not touch on anything related to clustering until |
12 |
graduate level courses (I just graduated from the University of |
13 |
Michigan), unless they work on that stuff as a job or in their spare time. |

Yes and no, depending on what you find interesting. Plenty of web |
21 |
applications are written in python or ruby, but I think it's safe to |
22 |
assume that most high-traffic organizations have mounds of Java and |
23 |
C/C++ services on the backend for various reasons. |
