Yes.

There is no need to engage the GP - let him rant about Go and JS. Java is still huge, for both legacy and new projects.

For context - I started as a C/Kernel dev. I also spent 2 years with Java on mission critical backend code. Both have their uses.

Are you familiar with the term "Magpie Developer"[0]? Your claim of "better choices" is highly subjective. To me, every point that ellard brought up makes Java "better" than JS or Go.
