Why bother?

>>60448629
This.

Call me when I can write an android app in a language that doesn't touch a JVM.

isnt kotlin essentially java with a different syntax?
even uses the same garbage standard library

>>60448651
Gotcha covered senpai

https://www.xamarin.com/

You can even share code with IOS and Windows, and Linux and pretty much everywhere C# runs on.

Buggy garbage.

>>60449196
Yeah.
But at least it's better than the "muh web browser packaged up" bullshit most companies are doing.

>>60448498
Kotlin might just be a small improvement upon Java, but the productivity gain is significant on a large scale.

>>60449542
how is that? is it because muh functional programming?

>>60449556
It gets rid of a lot of syntactical overhead when it comes to different method signatures, and introduces useful pattern matching invokation, along with better distinction of nullable and non-nullable types. NullPointerException no more, if you have half a brain.

That disqualifies most Java developers including the retard that you responded too.

As you imply, most Java developers are barely better than a potato that got a bit too much fertilizer. That doesn't discredit the fact that the JVM is an incredibly powerful, battle tested platform for large scale computing, regardless of what language compiles to it. And some languages might just give more bang for the buck, hour-wise in an industrial setting. Such as Kotlin.

It looks like it has a lot of the language features from C#6 with a more concise syntax. You're not far off.

>>60448629
it's the other way around. anything that doesn't run on the jvm is a meme (apart from erlang)

I'll call you when you can write an FUCHSIA app in a language that touches the DART(TM) VM

Xamarin is shit.

>>60448673
Depends on how you look at it. Folks at jetbrains already made Kotlin-native - Kotlin that compiles to native windows, mac and linux binaries.

But anon, android is a JVM

also the same name as a polish ketchup brand. makes it difficult for a pole to take this language seriously

Google just killed Scala with a single presentation.

>>60450473
Scala cannot be killed.
