Java can’t go away, sadly

I don’t know anyone who actually wants to use Java (I’m sure there are a few, I apologize to you). You use Java because that’s what your giant corporate overlords mandate. And they mandate it since it’s the new COBOL: an overly verbose language that makes it harder for legions of low skilled corporate drones to step on each other’s toes. And at this point they’ve invested so much in it that it’s locked in for decades.
