JVM is probably the most impactful piece of software ever written. our world literally runs on the JVM. however - the "Java" ecosystem used to suffer from architecture astronauts & complexity merchants. Certain things like Quarkus & SpringBoot have helped reduce that. if you keep Java simple, don't ingest too much OOP Kool-aid. You can literally make anything that will work today, 10 years from now, 20 years from now. that's reliability you won't get from Python, Ruby & Javascript. Remember the JVM offers alternatives - Clojure, Kotlin. with a Kotlin a nice compromise.
