Well, let's remember that the cited languages count for less than a few percents of usage in the real world. At this time, "the like" to me has been classified as hype and closed, since the largest part of the industrial world uses Java on the JVM. Scala might be promising and could be part of the future, directly or indirectly, but today it's still confined in a very small niche. Sure, these things are important for the potential, but for the substance Java-the-language is the winner.
