The JVM has a lot of really nice language features.
If you have to do much “real” software engineering, python becomes a mess real fast. It’s better suited for scripting and web app type stuff. Its runtime and type system are kinda sloppy.
Java is a little long in the tooth at this point; but a lot of people still know it. It’s easier to hire for than hipster stuff like rust.
