> The problem with Scala is not that it has all the features of Swift, it's that it has way more. Please have a serious look at Swift. I don't think this claim stands up to any kind of scrutiny. Swift is more like C++ than anything else in terms of features, Kotlin has roughly the same amount of features as Scala but more special-cased ones. Kotlin solves one problem well, and only that one: If you want to write Java, but want it to be a bit less verbose, then Kotlin is perfect.
