At my workplace I would pick Java 8/10 times. I would only pick something else when Java is really not an option (e.g. Scala/Python for Apache Spark, Typescript for CDK).

Maintaining a larga Java code base is very easy (I think much easier than e.g. Python). The tooling is awesome, there are countless libraries, last but not least Java is the easiest to hire for.
