Everyone wants to kill Java. However Java has the distinct advantage of an incumbent. It has enough people who know it and the support of MANY major organizations like Apache, Red Hat, Amazon and Google. The libraries available for it are enormous and it has build systems and dependency management systems coming out of its ears. Want a contractor to complete a project? If you are using Java you can get one from almost anywhere.
Anything that hopes to replace Java had better come armed with a couple billion dollars and the support of thousands of engineers.
