Kotlin == (Scala syntax) - (Scala power) + (Groovy wackness)
- vorg 9y agoKotlin's the latest in a long series of leading alternative languages for the JVM, each having a turn taking second spot behind Java. First there was Beanshell adding syntactic shortcuts for property boilerplate, then Apache Groovy came adding closures, then Scala took the adoption lead adding full static typing and heavy functional capabilities, and now Kotlin's come into second JVM spot with simplicity by removing cruft. So think of Kotlin as "alternative JVM language Two point Oh".
