> I haven't written Java since I was a freshman in college (2009) and that was like a few months. I basically know nothing about the ecosystem.

I was in love with Ruby and hated Java around 2009, but the latter has gotten so much better with IntelliJ IDEA, to the point where I have to admit that working with JavaFX from IntelliJ was likely my most serene programming job ever. To me, the whole ecosystem is only worthwhile because of JetBrains.

Robust IDE support for Elixir is probably a must-have requirement for many nowadays. I am really tempted by the design of Elixir and find Java/Go/C++ aesthetically repulsive, but I'll happily forget about that if I can keep my refactoring muscle memory.

Thankfully JetBrains isn't the only option.

Fair enough, all the OG IDEs from 2009 are still around. And on the lightweight end of the spectrum, VS Code has excellent tooling support for some languages like Dart/Flutter.
