I have the feeling that the "Java sucks" outcries are not so loud anymore. Java improved significantly over the last few years, the frameworks are better and more lightweight these days (compare Java EE 7 with J2EE ...). And Java has probably the best tooling available. Plus there are some migration stories of companies moving away from Ruby, Python or other scripting languages. So, all in all Java is a fine technology and you can use the solid foundation with more convenient and concise languages like Scala and Kotlin.
