I think this trend may stop soon. There are already OSS big data projects written in more performant languages (e.g. c++) coming around (e.g. scylladb, cloudera's kudu).

Welp, what about Rust?

  Rust has Frank McSherry (formerly working on Naiad for Microsoft Research) and his work on timely dataflow and differential dataflow: https://github.com/frankmcsherry/blog https://github.com/frankmcsherry/blog

  Rust is exciting, no doubt, and I have high hopes for its adoption, but I've personally not seen/heard of any visible OSS big data style projects using it. I see Frank McSherry's stuff has been mentioned, but I think that's still his pet project (hopefully not putting words in his mouth). But really I was using C++ as an example of something more fit for these types of projects than Java, it doesn't have to be only C++ of course.
