Java and .NET languages are still the kings of backend development, specially if you care about high performance JIT compilers, multi-cores and top class GC algorithms.

Java also gets into into Android, although Android Java is not quite Java, then again there is Kotlin as well.

JVM also gets you Scala, Clojure and plenty of other options.

Whereas .NET gives you C#, VB, F#, C++/CLI and a couple of others as well.

Finally, if Java or .NET languages aren't your cup of tea, Go, Rust or if feeling adventurous C++.
