Is it though? I work in the Danish public sector which is mostly windows based enterprise and 80-90% of our infrastructure runs on JAVA with no change in sight.

Hell, most influential people will straight out laugh at the notion of JAVA losing steam. It did dip for a while some years back, but these days it’s frankly the strongest I’ve ever seen it. Of course it’s not popular for hobby projects, startups, academia or data science, but those fields are frankly dwarfed by enterprise on the job market. C# has a stronger hold in the private sector, but scince most of the public software is produced by the private sector even there JAVA runs strong.
