The enterprise world isn't exactly known for adopting new languages, JVM or not JVM.
But you could provide some kind of source if you disagree, all the statistics I've seen have had Java and JVM languages in a steady downward slope for the past five years or so.
- pjmlp 12y agoThe source is the projects my employer gets and I cannot disclose. It is a international consulting company that does large IT projects, mostly multi-site. You can imagine the possible candidates. We only get JVM (only Java) and .NET (C# / VB.NET) requests for proposals for greenfield projects. Any other platform requests tend to be pure data spikes.
- threeseed 12y agoCouldn't disagree more. I work in the enterprise space and there are plenty of companies using Groovy, Scala, Clojure as well as Python/Ruby on the JVM. I know it's anecdotal but what platform do you actually think enterprises are using ? Companies are looking for cheaper options so .Net isn't exactly on fire.

- vorg 12y ago> there are plenty of companies using Groovy, Scala, Clojure as well as Python/Ruby on the JVM Jython would be by far the least used of those alternatives, whereas Scala the most used. Clojure's coming up strong, JRuby's making slow inroads, Kotlin's getting some traction at Ceylon's expense, whereas Groovy's on the slide.
