A language I wish would die already, but there are still vendors that program in it, along with freaking Tomcat hosted applications. EduTech is still stuffed to the gills with it.
There’s always Kotlin. Of course I never understood the desirability of a VM language in the first place, why not just compile for different architecture?
JIT compiling and byte code morphing and instrumentation.
For instance data base persistence is usually done by instrumentation tools, that add instructions to keep track about transactions and modified objects, or new objects that need persisting.
And endless more things.

“Write once, run anywhere” is a pipe dream but Java came closer than anyone else by far.
It can help with standardization and some security benefits to run things in the JVM, part of the reason it’s so popular in enterprise
