Java is mediocre (better than it used to be), but Scala and Kotlin benefit from those huge investments in JVM optimization and have a lot of potential if you don't need the minimal footprint of Rust.

Scala is an interesting language, but now, it's back to java ugliness as soon as you need to import some existing java classes. That's my issue with all the JVM languages (and .NET is even worse here).
