I'm not sure if they refer to how large the language's reach is, but more about how advanced Java is once you stop looking at syntax bloat. The JVM can do stuff that's not easy to do in other environments.
I recall things like updating packages/code on the fly, recompiling fast paths on the fly. Maybe that's not necessary in a borg/kubernetes world where you can just restart things and have your load balancer infra take care, or just run slower code because compute isn't that expensive once you accelerate your CPU-heavy libraries, but cool anyways.
