As a developer of software based on xwiki, I can promise that java is really helpful in terms of navigation and reading. Sure something more compact may gain in reading sometimes but everything I have seen thus far (such as JavaScript or Groovy) has given me a horrible insecurity feel that a zillion things could happen. This feeling I do not have in java code, especially of code written by others.
Hi. Do you have a alternative for a big-and-long-running-project? If you have doubts, see e.g. this: http://me.veekun.com/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/ this is particulary about php, but it shows many aspects of a good programming language and I'm sure it will be hard to find better alternative then Java right now.
