Java AI

And more broadly, why should you use JVM languagues like Java, Scala, Clojure or Kotlin to build AI and machine-learning solutions? Java is the most widely used programming language in the world. Large organizations in the public and private sector have enormous Java code bases, and rely heavily on the JVM as a compute environment. In particular, much of the open-source big data stack is written for the JVM. This includes Apache Hadoop for distributed data management; Apache Spark as a distributed run-time for fast ETL; Apache Kafka as a message queue; ElasticSearch, Apache Lucene and Apache Solr for search; and Apache Cassandra for data storage to name a few.
