> Groovy, for example, is as popular as Scala or Kotlin

Things have changed in the past few years. I would now put Apache Groovy in a different tier than those other two. Kotlin's rise has been at Groovy's (as well as Java's) expense. So nowadays I would rank JVM language adoption as these tiers:

  1. Java
  2. Kotlin, Scala
  3. Clojure, Groovy
  4. others, e.g. JRuby, Ceylon
