So is Kotlin the future? Or just another meme language?

Kotlin is racist.

I wonder what programming languages will be popular in 10 years. Pudliszki? Włocławek?

definitely the second

Just like Coffeescript, Dart, Typescript, and every other fucking *script it's going to die out because the people who need javascript are also too stupid to use anything else.

>>60672936

It's a Java replacement you moron.

>Kotlin is a statically-typed programming language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine and also can be compiled to JavaScript source code

The syntax is fucking ugly.

Besides, you can't fix the JVM without switching to a new bytecode. The biggest problems with Java stem from the restrictions of bytecode compatibility.

Also, my logic still stands.
The people who need java are generally too stupid to use anything else, or they're trapped in huge legacy codebases that you'll never escape from.

Google should have just made Swift a new first-class language for Android.

>>60672942
It's for both. It can also transpile into Javascript, I am honestly curious.

I can almost hear the autistic screeching from the Apple lawyers.

Swift is licensed under Apache 2.0.

>>60672936
Anything that compiles to llvm can compile to js, dipshit. Kotlin/JavaScript sucks ass but you're retarded

>>60672552
I see a lot of posts on HN about it, so it's a fucking meme that will die in a couple of months.

>>60673062
The android support was big news for developers. Everything that's big news for developers gets a lot of posts on HN for a couple of days. I'm not really following your logic.

>>60672962
That would be dumb. Swift is like Kotlin but without the ecosystem of Java libraries.

>>60673120
not just "for a couple of days", I see this stupid meme at least once every day or two on the front page, along with whatever agile lean web framework they've decided to jerk off about for the day
