Java is highly more performant and with a very wide range of opensource libraries at hand, there is not much that you "cannot do" as long as you "do it right". Interpreted nature of Python doesn't let you do proper multicore/multithread operations, you could even say that …

Code readability is greater in [Oracle Java SE]. Code refactor can be achieved in [Oracle Java SE], design patterns are used across the libraries and in use of it as well.

Java is the backbone of Scala. Lots of the improvements of the newer version of Java have been based on the improvements Scala introduced (functional programming features, among others). In this way Java and Scala are very symbiotic.

We had to stick with Java SE due to some of our other services being already written in Java. For the past couple months, we have been experimenting with Python and comparing its level of security and performance. From our experience, Python has fewer security capabilities, but …

I wanted to write Python, NodeJS, PHP... but it's hard to compare all the different fruits in the basket. Java is good for what it was made for, and much more nowadays. Java was and I suspect, will be a strong candidate for any backend project, and it's one of the most popular …

We haven't really used any other products like Java. We have used python and C++ for other projects. Java is much simpler to use than C++, but probably not as simple as Python. Then again, Python is meant to be a scripting language, so when comparing to C++, Java is definitely …

Oracle Java SE is well suited to long-running applications (e.g. servers). Java Swing (UI toolkit) is now rather outdated, lacking support for modern UI features. JavaFX, the potential replacement for Swing, has now been separated out of Java core. Ideally, there would be a path to migrate a large application incrementally from Swing to JavaFX, but due to different threading models and other aspects, it is difficult. At this point, it is probably better to use an embedded web browser (e.g. JxBrowser) to provide a modern UI in HTML/Javascript and keep just the business logic in Java.

Commercial Licensing in 2019. Oracle will charge commercial organizations using Java SE for upgrading to the latest bug fixes and updates. Organizations will now need to either limit their implementation of Java SE or may need to drop it altogether.
Slow Performance. Due to the all of the abstraction of the JVM, Java SE programs take much more resources to compile and run compared to Python.
Poor UI appearance on all of the major GUI libraries (Swing, SWT, etc.). Through Android Studio, it is easy to get a native look/feel for Java apps, but when it comes to desktops, the UI is far from acceptable (does not mimic the native OS's look/feel at all).

Oracle Java SE provides the new features along with timely security patches. New features like Record patterns and pattern matching for switches are very useful. With every new release of Java, it is getting better. Sequenced collections are also an interesting feature added to Java. With all these new features, backward compatibility is also maintained.

Java is such a mature product at this point that there is little support from the vendor that is needed. Various sources on the internet, and especially StackOverflow, provide a wealth of knowledge and advice.

Chose to go with Java instead of Python or C++ due to the expertise on the ground with the technology, for its ease of integration with our heterogeneous setup of production servers, and for the third party library support which we've found was able to address some challenging aspects of our business problem.

The different versions make it harder to work with other companies where some use newer versions while some use older versions, costing time to make them compatible.
Licenses are getting to be costly, forcing us to consider OpenJDK as an alternative.
