As I understand it, Twitter is heavily invested in Java and the JVM. They maintain their own fork of the JVM that they tweak for low latency. As a starting point for speed and stability, the JVM is top of the line.
I like coding with Java 8. There's lots of new syntactic sugar that let you cut down on all the boilerplate and cool new standard library features like Java 8 streams that let you do functional programming. The best part of Java 8 streams is they perform really well. You get more readable code along with better performance.
