Kotlin 1.1 + Reactor (http://projectreactor.io/ http://projectreactor.io/) has erlang style messaging passing paradigms, world class tooling and is gradually replaceable (class-by-class) for Java.
It's going to be interesting comparing the adoption curves of both these languages especially after Java 9 and most importantly Graal (http://openjdk.java.net/projects/graal/ http://openjdk.java.net/projects/graal/) .

- hnbroseph 10y agoelixir is for rubyists, really. dynamnic typing.
- pmarreck 10y agoGuards, pattern-matching (even down to the structural level) and typespecs cover a lot of the ground that static typing would, without forcing the type rigidity. Although Haskell seems to have admittedly cornered the static typing market
- gregpardo 10y agoWow this is cool. I always preferred Kotlin to Scala and have used it for Android dev. It was extremely easy to get it working compared to writing an app in Scala and the language was more similar with a modern syntax. This project looks neat and if you had to use JVM tools but wanted some of the benefits of Erlang style development I could see it being a perfect fit.
