There is Java and there is the JVM. Both are doing well, but Java is progressing slowly, and more and more developers -why actually now what they are doing- are looking into alternatives. These may also be languages running on the JVM though. Java as a languages is getting old, in terms of concepts and verbosity. Functional programming is what is -the next big thing-. And most java-only developers don't know how todo that. While it is still thriving, there is an unstoppable move to newer, more functional languages (which can run on the JVM too).
