I think "dynamic platform" would be more accurate. Java has typically been a fairly conservative language sat on a much more interesting VM, a VM which has rather more features in common with dynamic languages like Smalltalk than you'd expect.

but you can always escape with cglib and rock out.

So even though java the language isnt dynamic, you can do a lot more at runtime, than with these new-fangled languages like Go and Rust.
