It still is. Kotlin advocates are just very loud, while Scala devs are busy shipping real-world software projects.

  If Brainfuck had the marketing dollars that Typesafe spent then you would see real-world shipping Brainfuck projects. It wouldn't make Brainfuck a good language.

    Considering how bad Typesafe is at promoting Scala, Scala's overwhelming success is _despite_ Typesafe's involvement, not because of it.

    I don't think marketing comes into it? Companies that I've worked at that have adopted Scala have done so because a) the developers wanted to and/or b) they wanted to use Spark. Kotlin seems to be much more a matter of marketing - I've only spoken to one person who'd heard of Ceylon and preferred Kotlin, and it turned out they worked for Quasar.
