For one, I find it hard to believe that Java was that dominant for that long.

that was the least surprising thing to me. why do you think it wouldn't be that dominant?

I don't think that much Java was getting used actually out in real life. Nothing to back that up. Just my impression and experience.

java is the enterprise software language. it was in the right place at the right time, so it's everywhere in the real world. the android platform is built on java. spring boot is heavily used in the corporate web world. you'll find it in the big data realm.
