Are you surprised because you'd expected it to be replaced by something better or by something newer? Of the other top 20 languages in the Tiobe Index (FWIW), only C# is significantly newer than Java. So old age doesn't seem to negatively impact popularity. Even how much language quality influences popularity is a massive (and oft-repeated) debate. So how is Java's resilience surprising?
