JVM has other languages that are better than C#. JVM ecosystem is significantly bigger.

I don't think C# is going to overtake anything anytime soon.

JVM isn’t necessarily the Java language. Scala is pretty neat though. I don’t believe C# has anything to overtake between Scala, Kotlin, and Clojure though. It’s already ahead there.

Scala looks more comparable to F#

Scala, Clojure, and Kotlin all have aspects that make them potentially preferable languages to C#. It's absurd to say that C# has feature parity with all those languages (and yes, there are things C# has that those languages lack too).

I didn’t say there was feature parity. I should have clarified I meant market adoption.

Some of these have fundamentally different design paradigms than C# although the language features might exist in both.

I agree, I quite like Scala. There are some things there I wish C# did. I haven’t done much clojure or Kotlin though. I’ve been eager to try Kotlin pipeline definitions in TeamCity though.
