Java moved to a six month release cycle and it has breathed new life into the ecosystem as a whole. Its one of the most robust and important languages out there.
Java will likely never truly die because of legacy applications. It's also still firmly set in the market and that is not looking likely to change in the future. Its also the king of microservices with Spring Boot.
Kotlin could well take over the mobile space. Many of the touted benefits of Kotlin are slowly being added to Java itself.
Java itself may decline as a language, but I'm near certain that the JVM will be with humanity forever. Someone will be programming in a JVM language somewhere. Whether it's some future language or Java 532.
