This article is very poorly thought out. First and foremost it talks about the __fall__ of JVM languages yet it forecasts good things for all of those languages.
The author also failed to check out things like the TIOBE index where Java is still at the top.
Not to mention that Clojure hasn't even been mentioned which is a __huge__ letdown since Clojure is the only pure functional language which is native to the JVM.
- hellofunk 9y agoI agree. There are many points and oddities in this article that make it a poor source of information on the topic. Actually, not just a poor source, a misleading one.

- KirinDave 9y agoYou may also be interested in Eta. Clojure reaslly isn't pure functional, strictly.

- cutler 9y agoThe TIOBE index is a complete farce. Scratch at 19 and Scala 28? How many Scratch jobs are there on Indeed.com?
