Java is still popular. JDK 17 looks as much like ML (e.g. oCAML) as they can make it as fast they can make it without breaking things.

Also, the tooling and compiler speed aren't fucked like they are in Scala or Kotlin. I like Kotlin, especially the null-safety, but the ecosystem's quality is kinda shoddy. Everything is just faster and less buggy in Java.
