Have you actually used kotlin before? It most certainly has features that are much more than just syntactic sugar.

- deepsun 9y agoYes, I use it every day and absolutely love it. Especially the part that it's still syntactic sugar over Java.
- ben-schaaf 9y agoIt does a lot more than just syntactic sugar. It expands the type system with nullable types, smart casts and covariant/contravariant generics, and it has actual closures. I agree that most of the features kotlin provides are syntactic sugar over Java, but kotlin is as much a separate language to Java as Scala is.
