The JVM is the best thing about Java. It's really good at optimizing statically typed code. The problem is the language and culture of verbosity that it spawned. Alternate languages are great but may not go far without Oracle's support; Oracle would rather add features to Java than seriously support other languages since they have so much code written in Java already and control it. And the new features added to Java will clash with features added to the other languages when Java was more primitive.
