I'll take it over Java for most application development, though I
prefer ObjC over both.
Java fits into the secure internet applet and backend server database
application niches. The only problem is that Java kind of sucks for many
database applications and is woefully underpowered, slow, buggy and bloated
when used for applets or any kind of significant client application.
Java's fit is more from a marketing than a pragmatic perspective. PHP
and Python are both better choices for back end server and internet
applications.
