Java is for retards.

Read first example

>never heard of static imports

Knows the rest of the list is going to be shit

>for (i in 1..10) { }

Great, so if I have to 1..1000000000000 I'm going to OOM because it's generating a list first.

Is kotlin more ruby than python?

>>60891965
It is probably optimized at compile time, like most things.

>>60892735
/g/ likes to pretend that it doesn't know about compiler optimizations. It goes well with the whole "assembly is the only language worth writing in" schtick.

>>60891965
>lists are the only things you can iterate over

>>60893075
/g/ are just schoolkids they don't know much, it is why they are attracted to C and Haskell, good languages for learning.

Pajeet approved wrappers. No thanks OP

it comfier for Android development.
you dont need 'findViewById' anymore

>>60894032
It isn't a wrapper, it's being compiled to a Java machine code binary compatible with a code compiled from Java.

>>60894231
>implying java machine code is any better

It's a better Java. It's not something special like Clojure.

What comes after Haskell then?

>>60891864
OK so like coffescript is to javascript. Enjoyed a couple of years of popularity and now basically dead, no thanks. Scala is nicer.

>>60894257
I've merely stated that it's not a wrapper. You have a fertile imagination, kiddo.

Formal semantics of programming languages such as denotational sematics.

>>60895080
Kotlin is a second official language for Android, Scala is completely out of scope. It means that you will use Java for Android if you won't use Kotlin.
