Ask HN: Java for New Projects?

Is anyone using Java for new projects? I've seen a lot of job postings / new companies being started with Python, Go, TypeScript, and the like.

Outside of companies already firmly planted with Java in their ecosystem I don't really see people being excited to start new projects using Java (or even a JVM-based language).

What is everyone's thoughts here? Am I perhaps in a vacuum?

Note: I really enjoy the developer experience using Java and enjoy exploring other JVM-based languages like Clojure, Kotlin, etc.
