Except for numerics, which is my whole world, where Java is horrific roadkill. FWIIW back 8 years ago I was ---><--- this close to trying to build out an important system with wrapped Fortran in Clojure. People (who even then looked like they didn't know what they were talking about) assured me the JVM would eventually surpass lapack, because MUH JVM, and that has failed to come to pass.

The SciPy stack got me into Python and it making it hard to leave despite becoming 100% fed up with Python's GIL. I need to port some signal processing code I prototyped in Python to Java for a customer, and a survey of libraries for Java is not making me look forward to this effort.
