Should clarify that first statement.

Java market share is declining but the JVM is still as good as ever. Instead everyone is moving to Kotlin and Scala.

What do you base that on? I still see a lot of Java jobs advertised (never seen a Kotlin job and not too many for Scala). It seems to be entrenched in the corporate world in a way that it isn't going away soon.

"Java market share is declining" -- yes, 90% down to 86%
