It's all right.

It's okay, but I can see no reason to use it over Scala.

Yes, Scala has some warts and is a "moving target" due to ongoing efforts to reduce the warts, but it also has all the really nice shit - libs and language features alike.

One might argue that Kotlin is more of a Java replacement, but that's a hard to impossible sell where Scala wasn't accepted anyhow.

Made by JetBrains, which honestly isn't much botnet at all.

Botnet only supports it in Android now, I think.

Fuck off with these redundant hipster languages

I don't trsut the jvm and it's made by commies

I have no idea what the fuck is going on with generics.
Also the

var identifier : Type

meme is vomit inducing.

It can't have worse syntax than java.

It's literally Java but with a coat of paint.

>>62036323
Wrong, it's a new language that runs in a Java Virtual Machine.

Good. I trust them more than Amerimexican SJW companies.

Kotlin does a lot of things right. Kotlin's Syntax is much better than Java or Scala (I find Scala pretty hard to understand sometimes). And I would be use it over Java anytime. But I would chose Clojure over Kotlin.

But if you asking what is wrong:
The Syntax is readable, but not amazing ("val/var" or "i: Int" is just ugly). Also Kotling brings nothing "super new and distinct" to the table. It's "yet another nice language" and it's only killer feature is, that it's a JVM langauge..

Or am I missing something?
