Odin is backed by companies in the movie and video game industry

K is backed by several financial institutions

Carbon is backed by Google

Google was an early supporter of TypeScript, which replaced their own JavaScript type annotation language in Angular. They did this despite having created Dart, which languished after the Blink team decided they couldn't support a Dart VM in the browser. Dart is now primarily used with Flutter to draw components with the Skia framework. It's also in the upcoming Fuschia OS. I don't think Dart is used much anymore for it's original intent to be used like JavaScript for DOM manipulation.

I was totally unaware of the progress of Odin, it looks way more interesting now than when I had first heard of it. I’m surprised it’s already been adopted (or did they start EmberGen in Odin?!) by a commercial product.
