Possible to run on different environments is totally not interesting IMHO. With docker almost anything can run anywhere.

The main advantage is that it can use 26 years of code written in Java + the standard Java library which already has a lot.

For myself I can only compare this to Rust. Where things like networking after 6 years of being stable, are finally starting to stabilize. While Clojure had this from its very start, because it ran on the JVM.

Docker was riding the x86 hegemony period but now with M1 Macs and ARM machines at major cloud providers, things are getting mixed up again. (But I agree this is a smaller thing than access to JVM libs)
