I agree that the future looks bright for Kotlin and C# .Net Core especially. I'm also a big fan of Typescript but JS derivatives are missing many nice things like threading.
But I disagree that Java is like Cobol. The syntax and general situation is extremely similar to C++. There's still tons of work being done on it, but it's a mature language that will be around for decades. IMO it's still the best language to run on the server for a multitude of reasons.

Yes perhaps that's true. I ask you to consider some c++ to java conversions though. Usually the syntax is almost identical, whereas COBOL is clearly terrible
