Java as a Programming Language? I don't think it's dying anytime soon.

Java as a Runtime Platform? I don't think it's dying anytime soon either.

JAVA might be a little bit old (in terms of technology) but more modern languages has a lot to do to catch up in:

* Multiple Relational DB support (I am still need to see good support for Python or NodeJS for databases like SYBASE, INGRES, others)

* Library ecosystem (there is a library for almost anything in JAVA) * Installed based (there is A LOT of Java Software out there)

I can see modern languages for the JVM like KOTLIN or SCALA fulfilling the places where JAVA is cumbersome.

Having said all this, unlike what was real 10 years ago, I definitely see that right now there are more JOB offerings for engineers in other languages (JavaScript/Node, Typescript, Python, and maybe even GO).
