I agree mostly. Some good use cases for Java:

- cryptography: It has a wide range support of symmetric/asymmetric algorithms from legacy to modern ones.

- XML and SOAP with Web Service Security in particular.

- Modeling large business concepts because of static typing, Objects inheritance and polymorphism, no memory management while still being performant. I would not use Python for that but other languages can compete C#, Scala, Kotlin, maybe Typescript.

Python and Ruby both would fit the bill perfectly for all those use cases for me.

The cryptography module in Python is awesome. lxml and sud deals with XML and Soap in a blink.

Modeling large business concept is a joy with dataclasses, and the language will never be the perf bottleneck.

Now I understand that if you are experienced with Java, it would solve all those problems perfectly.

But again, I would not, personally, gain anything by using it for this.
