I'm a bit mystified why OP didn't include Kotlin on their list. It's very accessible for Java devs, works brilliantly with tools they are probably used to (IntelliJ, Gradle etc) and compiles natively to JVM and JS (and Native these days, if you care about that). It seems like the ideal candidate.

Probably because it's not Java. Yeah, it's similar to Java and runs on the JVM, but it ain't Java. Confusingly, the author uses the term "JVM" in the title but then discusses strictly Java in the article itself.

Kotlin's JavaScript support has been around for a while but I was under the impression that it wasn't used much. Is there a community using it now and is it getting much support?

  Kotlin may be a nice language but its HTML library: https://github.com/kotlin/kotlinx.html ... is an abomination.
