I learned Java because of CraftBukkit. For many teenagers, some even under the age of 10, Minecraft was their first experience in server administration. From setting up game servers, optimizing settings so Java did not crash, installing plugins, setting up config files, maintaining backups, writing their own plugins, learning basic networking issues, dealing with abuse (griefers), etc... Minecraft has taught a generation a lot.
