When there is more mindshare around an up and coming programming language, it's simply easier for a community to build and learn with the support of a large company. There are several JVM languages devs can select from, but it's not practical to expect devs to sit around and explore each and every one of those languages.

Isn't JetBrains a large company? Or even a company without experience in programming languages?

I trust more a language created from a company which create tools for programmers that any other one.
