As an anecdotal case, a company a friend of mine works at has a backend workforce of primarily Java-only devs, so that's the only thing they can really maintain. There's a lot of sunk cost and inertia on the enterprise side when it comes to Java.

But yeah for starting something new, with an open language choice? No way anyone sane would go for it these days. Especially after Oracle basically closed sourced it, making JRE distribution illegal.
