Kotlin reminds me of coffescript to JavaScript.
- highwind 10y agoAs far as I know, all CoffeeScript did was add bunch of syntactic sugar on top of JavaScript. I believe Kotlin actually adds programming paradigm that's not in Java on top of terse syntax, i.e. real closure, operator overloading, pure object orientation, and more.
- lmm 10y agoJava already has real closures and pure object orientation. Operator overloading is just sugar.
- ungzd 10y agoAnd also may become obsolete after Java 8/9 (as Coffeescript after ES6/7). Problem is that noone in Java body shops ever touched Java 8, they're still migrating from Java 5 to Java 6.
