What's Java 9 going to add that Kotlin can benefit from?
- rattray 11y agoPresumably, they coexist; if you have a lot of old Java code, upgrading to Java 9 will likely be much easier than translating to Kotlin, but you still have a healthy codebase.
- pjmlp 11y agoNot much, other than VarHandles, JIT plugins and the overall JVM improvements maybe. The real juice will be in Java 10, assuming value types, proper generics, JNI replacement and AOT support get delivered.
