Java is not a perfect language, but for what it proposes to be, a statically typed object-oriented language for building complex systems, it gets 90% right. The platform and the frameworks available for the java ecosystem are unmatched, in my opinion java is a kind of benchmark for the other languages and platforms. At this point it's almost a meme to say that the hyped language of the moment is killing the established players based on normally weak and disputable claims. Anyone who has been around long enough heard this many, many times for all new language in the block. I have no idea if people will be starting new projects in 10 years with kotlin, but I'm sure the will with java.
