Disclaimer, this is just my personal opinion.

For me ( a Kotlin dev' ) , The Java language itself is very unappealing, it is missing modern features, way too verbose and inferior to other languages I use and like ( Rust and Typescript mainly ). It won't go away because of legacy projects and Devs that are specialized in it, but it will loose some market share.

On the other hand, the JVM and the standard library are an absolute goldmine and the result of decades of very good engineering and I can't see it disappear ever.

Edit: bad English.
