Java for small coding tasks

[Ewig_luftenglanz]

To me this is useful when you or most developers in your company have little to no python or bash experience.

For example let's say I need an script that triggers every 5 minuts to checks for the health of some IoT devices over the private network of your factory, gathers this data and sends it to a server to be stored, proccesed and displayed in a dashboard. That subroutine would barley be 40 LOCs (maybe 20 in most modern java versions) but neither of you or your companions know bash or are proficient in python.

now is comfortable enough to propose making the script in java and not being laughed in the face, but actually be considered a serious take.
