I'd totally pick Java for a new project in 2023. The stable and mature ecosystem and fantastic tooling along with very low amount of library churn makes it one of the better options for anything server-side.

You get all of this by choosing Kotlin or Scala.

  Yeah, but why though? Seems like mostly a bandaid for old Java version.
