JVM as a platform is doing just fine, but other JVM languages seem to be taking over Java’s territory:

1. Kotlin replaced Java for Android development

2. Scala has become the primary language for some of the major tools in the data stack - spark, kafka etc

I’m sure there are other examples as well

Java is going away from JVM as much as UNIX is loosing C.

1. Politics due to how Google screwed Sun with Android Java

2. Scala is a tiny dot on JVM world and it remains to be seen how Scala 3.0 will be taken up, specially if Python like syntax is actually adopted

Well UNIX (or Linux more importantly) is "losing" C, C++ and more recently Rust are slowly displacing it. It's still probably going to be the ABI everything is based on but the language itself is not a first choice for many and that number is increasing over time.

Is that what you were implying ? It doesn't sound like it from the rest of the comment because you seem to disagree that Java is losing mindshare on JVM.

First get a UNIX clone to take over the world written in something else other than C.

That is not an UNIX.

Having some level of POSIX compliance doesn't turn an OS into UNIX, unless you mean Windows is a UNIX as well.
