As much as I love java and jvm as a piece of CS art and my first professional experience — I would see not a single reason to prefer it in 2022 to other alternatives. Except maybe some infra constraints related to big data or legacy systems interconnectivity. In the worst case scenario I would stick to JVM, but not to Java language. Main reason — poor dev experience (for 90-s it was awesome), far outweighed by modern “light” alternatives, like node, go, ruby, python etc. And dev perfomance is #1 factor of any project’s success/failure. On account that even lowest salaries are magnitudes higher than cpu/memory costs.
