In academia and corporate? Sure.

In real world? Php, Python, Ruby and Javascript still reign supreme.

Mobile is another story since main platforms are controlled by corporations, but if it were for the hobbyists neither java nor swift would have had a chance.

It's worth noting that development workflow in small businesses and startups is rapidly shifting towards being more "corporate" though. Whereas a decade ago the tools necessary to write quality code needed a dedicated person to manage, now they can easily be set up and used in a few days by a single developer. That's going to drive the language of choice too - if used a typed language isn't going to be any harder than used a dynamic language then there's little reason to use a dynamic one.

In what sense are academia and corporate not "the real world"?
