Rust is better than C
C# is better than Java
You can talk about tooling, environments, how many people use it, what you can use it for, but when it really boils down to the language there are languages that are better than others while trying to achieve the same.
I mean I use Elixir for other things than Swift or Rust or F#, Elixir is the best language for highly concurrent "message passing" systems. Some features of Elixir that I don't immediately like like it's type system unlock possibilities that no other languages have. But I don't see anything like that in Java, unless I really look around in 1993 and the only competitors are C++ and nobody-uses-it-yet Python.
