According to Wired Java is experiencing a renaissance of sorts: http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2013/09/oracle_java/

Exactly my point :)

Just like Coldfusion, many people have been saying Java is so 1995 but since Twitter showed how well Java scales compared to the woeful RoR it is seeing a renaissance. And since Railo is a Java framework that speeds development I have a feeling we will being seeing it experience a similar renaissance in the near future.

Actually a lot of enterprise applications are built with Java.

The majority of Internet companies operating at scale likely have services running on the JVM. They might be writing Scala – Twitter, LinkedIn, say – but it's still the Java ecosystem.
