From a recent survey, clojure holds the podium among JVM languages https://snyk.io/wp-content/uploads/jvm_2020.pdf

which is fairly surprising to me

skuro19:02:48

I mean, more than half of the blazing ho, hype surfing kotlin

borkdude19:02:00

cool - also more than Scala

Lennart Buit19:02:29

How was that a few years ago? I heard of scala before clojure

borkdude19:02:29

My impression was that Scala has always been more popular than Clojure (one reason could be that it's basically Java + more type and FP stuff)

borkdude19:02:42

it's also higher ranked in TIOBE, fwiw

Lennart Buit19:02:15

Hmm interesting. I didn’t program in scala so I can’t have a real opinion on it

skuro19:02:56

I also always thought of Scala as a lang with bigger market penetration, both for more appealing features for the average javist + spark driving adoption in java teams / corps with interests in data stuff

Probably Kotlin will take that share of the market long term
