I'd argue that Ceylon and Kotlin offer most of Scala's advantages with none of its baggage and bloat. And drama.
- lmm 11y agoAll those things will come as those languages mature, and until then neither has much library or tool support.
- incepted 11y agoNo tool support? Kotlin and Ceylon both have very good IDE plug-ins that already work much better than Scala, despite Typesafe pouring a lot of money into their own plug-in.
- lmm 11y agoThere are a lot more tools in the JVM ecosystem than just IDEs, and by now most of them have Scala support.
