The 9 million number seems a bit inflated to me. Either way, Java is widely used in many major open source projects so I doubt calling it "dead" is appropriate.

That being said, Java is a bit heavy on the resources. It takes 20 percent more hardware to run a Java product than it does C++. Wish it could be far more performance driven.
