Ouch, I should have explained that I was being sarcastic. Javagator was canceled in July 1998, so by 2000 it was thoroughly dead. Sun using Java no more makes it a major language than Google using Go does.
What I remember from the time was that C and C++ was everywhere, and Java was this weird new thing with a bunch of promises that ran slowly (because the JIT wasn't standard until later). There were a lot of people who were dismissive of Java, which was stupid, and there are a lot of people today who are dismissive of Go, which doesn't make sense to me either.
