Also the culture of those that stuck to Java because they didn't have the curiosity to learn anything else...

  Well yeah...? That's a big part of why I mostly use Java, so I don't have to constantly figure out basic stuff in whatever language/framework that's hot this week. The language is just a tool. It's not an ends in itself. I can spend that time building things instead. If I have an idea I can implement it. Downstream dependencies are rock solid, and the language changes at a manageable pace. Like I did some stuff in python the other week, and every other line I wrote had to stop several minutes and figure out basic syntax stuff. Just a pain in the ass. Like I probably could take the time and freshen up on python and be up to speed in a few weeks, but that's a few weeks I'm not moving toward my goals.
