This sounds like it’s not going to be successful soon. In the long term, if you want to compete with Java, you’ll need good integration with existing IDEs, and with existing JVM languages.
- sorokod 9y agoA JVM language that is a super set of Java. Meaning that java sources are valid iodine sources. Some may find this attractive.
- kuschku 9y agoYes, but kotlin can already translate Java to Kotlin, and provides 90% of this – with far better IDE and editing support. Forking Kotlin seems like an easier solution. Especially because of the IDE and compiler support for this, which means it can only reasonably be developed on Windows, and then you might as well use C#.
