I'm a long time Scala guy, and for some reason at the gigs I've been working at Kotlin is far more marketable than Scala. This confuses me, as the style of Scala we've been writing is almost identical to the Kotlin code. At this point I'm chalking it up to 'better tooling', especially in IntelliJ. And underscores. People seem to hate underscores. Well, and the Google-stamp of approval I suppose. Scala definitely does provide way more ways to overcomplicate your code, but with a dose of discipline it's quite manageable. For me, Kotlin does feel like a step back. At the same time the fact that more people are enthusiastically adopting it means I spend less time selling and more time coding - so in that sense I'm actually a reasonably big fan.
