At least in one area -- data infrastructure -- the JVM has no competitors for off-the-shelf solutions.
Hadoop, Spark, Storm, Kafka, Cassandra, HBase, etc etc are all JVM-based. In the alpha-nerd set, one can easily argue that the relevance of Go is fading and its being replaced by Rust. I'm not too worried.
