I am not peterashford, so no, I didn't say that.

  D'oh! My bad, apologies. But it's the dual of that argument and similarly orthogonal. Future-JVM becomes some other, more general JVM but that doesn't change the design constraints of Kotlin, its relationship to Java and how that relationship is fundamentally different than Swift's relationship to Objective C. Kotlin wasn't designed to run on Truffle or with Truffle in mind.

    No, but I didn't claim that it was. I said that new-JVM is suitable for running many languages that were not designed for it in mind, which is true. I didn't claim that it had any impact on Kotlin.

      Right, but there are a lot of unrelated, orthogonal and potentially true things. I don't understand the point, if the topic is 'things that influenced the design of Kotlin or Swift and stuff we say about them'.
