Java is on a rocket due to Android. Now that the Oracle threat has receded, that trend could accelerate.

This has to be the explanation.

You can also hedge your bets with Java a bit, because unlike Obj-C it's important outside mobile apps.

I can second it. Some people I know, never used Java before in their life and started now to code apps for Android.
