Am curious where the total JVM language usage stands if you add them all up. Would be interesting to know how much Java gradually slipping is people leaking to other ecosystems vs competition within the JVM language ecosystem itself. It's impressive overall in the the sense that not only is Java one of the top 3 languages but Kotlin/Scala/Groovy/Clojure each occupy impressively high rankings in their own right.
- pjmlp 3y agoJava rules the game, just like C on UNIX, JavaScript on the browser, C# on CLR,.... Scala is now having issues, with Scala 3 breaking changes. Groovy is kept alive thanks Gradle. Closure has always been a niche within JVM, and nowadays they seem to be more active in ClojureScript. Kotlin only matters on Android thanks godfather Google making it the language for modern Android, while stagnating on purpose Java purpose. Although they finally started updating it, otherwise they won't be able to use modern Java libraries on Android, unless they rewrite everything. Just do a Google analytics comparing all languages.
