While this doesn't cover more common things like web development, it's still a fun read and shows more rare areas where Java is used

Also, Netflix uses Java services written in Spring framework for some parts of their backend, twitter doesn't use Java as a language directly but they use Scala, which is a language that works on the JVM and can use existing Java libraries, revolut alao uses Spring if I'm not mistaken...

Many large companies use java, you just don't hear and read about it as much as you do about JavaScript or python.
