If Java wasn't the most used language out there, Android almost certainly made it so.

I quite like Java too, besides C#, I don't think there's any good alternative for bigger projects.

My dream would be Ceylon replacing Java some day. After looking into many newer languages aiming at a similar market as Java (Scala, Clojure, Dart, Kotlin), I believe that Ceylon is the best-designed statically typed programming language out there.

They've made incredibly good and pragmatic trade-offs between features, readability, verbosity, expressivness, speed, toolablity, familiarity, etc.
