Just like any other programming language that tried to bring research into the mainstream.
If it wasn't for the money invested by companies into C++, Java, .NET and JavaScript ecosystems, we would all be doing C most likely.
As all the better alternatives to C on its day, died from lack of investment.
As for waiting.
It is no different from C++ developers eagerly waiting fro concepts lite and modules, which might be available across major compilers (not only desktop systems) around 2020 if all goes well.
Besides how many companies in the world have to worry about petabyte JVMs? Very few.
