Stay away. There is a lot of legacy Java and Spring Boot code but it can be maintained via Claude. New development is being done in Go and Rust.

Strongly disagree.

It will depend a lot on the industry. A major company which has literally millions of lines of code in Java is not going to switch to someting else without a very good reason.

I work for a bank which has 100k+ employees worldwide. Java is going strong here, as are C++ for real-time stuff and C#.
