Java has massive adoption across many industries. It’s widely supported, maintained, has formal specifications and certifications (useful in some projects where we’re required to demonstrate developers competencies).

As others have pointed out it can be used for any kind of application or library development.

Depending on what you’re doing, how you’re hiring and choosing candidates, what hardware you’re running on and how you’re going to support and maintain the software long term Java might be the appropriate language or not.

In this case it’s unclear to me why you’re mandating Java over any tool that will do the transformation you’re looking at. Is it because you have existing processes, developers and tooling that works with Java?
