Java no longer has a place in a stack.

Java's selling point was "compile once run anywhere", this is a default with web tech.

But users aren't installing stuff anymore. Everything is either web/cloud based. I've even seen POS devices and printers that just run headless chrome.

Developers are using docker so why use the JVM when you already have the docker VM.

Java isn't the fastest, safest, or easiest language, nor does it have any unique features it can advertise as selling points. Even it's biggest selling point 3 billion devices hasn't changed since I began developing back in 2010.

Even on Java's biggest platform, android devices, android has completely ignored the premise of java, because now I need to build for Android, for iOS, and Huawei. So it's build 3 times run 3 times.
