That's true, but don't forget Kotlin also compiles to plain JavaScript, and a native compiler is in the works too.

  Yea, but the benefits of any jvm language fall of a cliff without the jvm.

  Without the libraries, performance or profiling tools that Java has, so it remains to be seen how much uptake it will have.

    Well, without the libraries and profiling tools anyway ;-)

    Kotlin is 100% java-compatible, you can mix source-files side-by-side in one project. You can easily call kotlin from java and java from kotlin. That means you have all the libraries, performance and profiling tools that java has.

      Not when targeting "plain JavaScript, and a native compiler is in the works too". Please read the OP before commenting.

        Agreed, sorry.

  Nowadays this means nothing because everything compiles to plain JavaScript.
