My dad worked on AS/400. When I first saw it, it looked like he was working in the matrix with that black/green color scheme.

35% of the total installed capacity world wide today is Linux on Z and is growing at double digit rates each year. RHEL, SLES, Ubuntu and most recently CoreOS (with OpenShift) all run beautifully. Ultimately, it's just hardware and it's what people do on it that matters.

If by "lack of", you mean "4 choices":
DirectByteBuffers (Azul/IBM/OpenJDK/Oracle etc)
Packed Objects (IBM)
Real-time Java (Azul/IBM)
Unsafe (Azul/Oracle/IBM/OpenJDK etc)

IBM's Java 7 and 8 beta's already have this. It's called Packed Objects and it lets you have have high density data with no pointer chasing along with a much cleaner interface to off-heap languages like C/C++/C# and even languages like Fortran/COBOL etc.
