And yet Google is investing into Kotlin. Yes, Java takes it slow because its target market - enterprises - want it, and they have good reason to. There's nothing wrong with that. All I'm saying is that there are many other niches where developers find lagging too far behind other available options, and there's a noticeable decline in its use because of that. And so the analogy with PostgreSQL in this case isn't working well. |

They even separate Kotlin/Native graphical debugging from InteliJ, so that developers get to shell out for Clion license as well.
The only variant where InteliJ and Clion come together is on Android Studio, thanks to us NDK users being vocal how 3rd class it felt versus Eclipse CDT.
On platforms where developers can make use of standard Java there is less pressure to adotpt alternative JVM languages.
Just like F# will always be a shadow of C#, never getting to play with all toys, with C# slowly picking up all features that matter.
