Java is 4th on tiobe.

Bright future for it just means it is not planning to become 40th or 400th.

(My prediction - in next ten years java will always be among top 6; new language might come to the very top and some leapfrogging game between c# and java)

tiobe is garbage and should never be given any credibility.

Tiobe once rated Visual Basic ahead of JS. I would rather believe some future reading octopus than that absolutely useless ranking.

Nonetheless, I agree with your take.
