Java doesn't get a lot of press or cool points, but the enterprise world is massive and anyone in it knows there's still a lot of spending going on for java projects.

It's also worth noting that several other languages on the list only run on the Java Virtual Machine. (Scala, Groovy, Clojure, Gosu, Ceylon). Jobs for these languages are commonly filled by people who identify as Java developers.

There is a Scala.NET (http://lampwww.epfl.ch/~magarcia/ScalaNET/) project by the way.

And Clojure also runs on CLR (ClojureCLR) and can be compiled to JavaScript (ClojureScript).
