It's a JVM that solves a lot of the overhead issues. There are multiple other implementations that can provide a level of scale that's available nowhere else (e.g. Azul).

My point is that the JVM has a huge 3rd party driven ecosystem that's moving at scale. It has very deep backend adoption and has many upcoming projects that will make it even better e.g. project leyden, panama, etc.
