We don't have plans to support other protocols except IRC/Telegram/Rocket.Chat, but it's modular so feel free to extend it if you want

The only requirement is that there is an API for bots for the particular protocol. Then you can extend Brooklyn simply creating a class, which will be loaded through reflection.

Because, you know, that what XMPP wanted, too: we provide the core, you can add modules. Nobody ever bothered.

Look at it from this point of view: Java-not-the-web-plugin is dead because my android phone dies a couple of times a day.
The link to githut you posted contains archeological data which does not reflect the world we live in today. It covers only the years 2012-2014. If you remember, we had a "Java is great" hype sweeping across our lands at that time. But, to be honest, it is not exactly easy to get more recent data. I've found this page that analyzes job offers on Craigslist. The data is valid as last year (2016). You can take this as a hint of a sharp decline of Java after 2014.

And the "my android phone dies a couple of times a day" is a gem, because while Java helps write Android applications, it is no way involved in running them. The make of the phone is also important, because if we're talking Samsung bloatware or some random Chinese OEM... you're lucky it only dies twice a day.Last edited by bug77; 22 June 2017, 07:28 AM.

I just want to point out that this Stackoverflow Survey has an inherent bias resulting from the methodology. As they say by themselves: "Respondents were recruited primarily through channels "owned" by Stack Overflow, such as blog posts and banner ads on the site."

Not at all. And yeah, it's really hard to do such a survey in an unbiased way. I'm not even sure it's possible.
To be fair: the study done at githut is likewise excellent as they openly present the source of the data. It's a pity that they do not show data beyond 2014. I would prefer the data from githut because I think (my personal opinion; I could be wrong) that github is more neutral. You also clearly see that the stackoverflow data is heavily biased towards web developers as they make out 72.6% of the developers there.
