Wait, you believe outside of Hacker News (you know, "broscience") people use (or even know) any one of "Clojure, Scala, Kotlin, Groovy, JRuby"?

I think I have news for you. No company without a foosball table in the break room would remotely think of such a thing.

The users of VB.NET alone dwarf any of those languages. There is a reason Microsoft keeps updating that.

You do know that Google is backing Kotlin right ? And that Apache Spark that runs Facebook's ETL is in Scala. Or that Clojure is used at https://clojure.org/community/companies ?
