It's true, it powers a good part of the Android ecosystem, and probably a lot of stuff we use everyday, but Google has massive ressources!
Given the momentum of Java, and with the rise of GPGU, Tensor DSPs, accelerated hardwares, containers stuff, Kubernetes or maybe even new programming paradigm around AI, will Java be able to keep up and find its way? What about Scala, Clojure, etc
This is only my point of view, but C and C++ still look more future proof for speed, and everything else in Python or Go is good enough. I understand many investments were made by many companies on the JVM and at least one of its language tho
