As you said you are utterly biased against Java. So I quite disagree in many ways with JS being replacement due to many issues including security and the way Node works. Java (mainly) uses Java modules without extra code for specific platform. Go looked great but it will take time to replace ecosystem which is by many Java devs actual reason why it's famous not the "Kim Kardashian" nor any professor putting it in the class. I was bombarded with MS tech in university and I still avoid those. So logic that it's being pushed is not relevant. Thing is you can try to kill it out and downgrade it's value but the quality of those libraries and frameworks is much better than JS ones. Some of us dislike forcing "rules" like never ever mutability and such so Go , Elixir and others won't hold water. I don't have problems with JVM because services I build are not bloated and I avoid reflection based tools. Example I use Micronaut instead of Spring when performance is important. I'm still waiting for a language to replace it in a way that libraries are easy to use but as well written just i that language. Node has too many C and Rust tools with interface to JS. PHP and python as well can't run specific modules on Windows because underlying implementation was a compiled language. Go looks nice yet you need to compile it many times for different platforms. It's about having seamless process of writing the code on one machine and working the same on the server. Regardless of that all this talk was about Java instead of JVM which is different. Kotlin, Scala, Groovy... A lot of tools from Apache like Kafka, Pulsar... Thing is there's too much to replace to kill it off. Just like PHP
