Check out Groovy's popularity on bintray maven in China. Visit https://bintray.com/groovy/maven/groovy/view/statistics https://bintray.com/groovy/maven/groovy/view/statistics then click country. 700,000 downloads in the last month, with 646,000 of them from China and only 21,000 from the US and 3000 from Germany, the 3 largest downloading countries. Of course the point I'm making is web-based queries aren't enough to ascertain a programming language's adoption.
