What I find sad in some of the guest languages communities, like Kotlin and Scala ones, is how so many happen to disdain the platform that makes their ecosystem possible in first place.

No one is going to rewrite the JVM, even though there are several implementations, all of them are a mix of C, C++, Assembly and Java, zero Kotlin and Scala.

Yet as usual there is this little island of Kotlin or Scala ecosystem, with their own replacement of everything, and continuous talks how it is possible that the platform that makes their existence possible hasn't been rewriten into them.

Typescript and Clojure folks are traditionally more welcoming of the platform, they rather appreciate the symbiotic relationship with the host, and much more fun to hang around with.
