My take as a continuing regular Scala programmer: Scala's position in the standard JVM world hasn't changed too much. Kotlin has taken up some of the "better Java" part of Scala, but otherwise Scala still maintains its niche of statically typed FP (mixed in with OO) on the JVM. Scala on Android has withered (Kotlin really took off here). Scala Native unfortunately also has kind of withered too, but GraalVM picks up the slack there in allowing for native compilation. Scala.js (compiling Scala to Javascript) has become surprisingly mature.
