In this thread:
* Non-Java JVM languages are too different for people to use.
Also:
* It's not worth switching from Java to other languages because they're just Java with syntactic sugar.
- skywhopper 7y agoClojure and Kotlin are two very different languages. I don’t see anyone making the broad statements you are calling out.
- mrkeen 7y agoNo, of course not. I misread > Syntactic sugar does not solve programming problems. Kotlin does not offer any paradigm changes which could make switch worth it. and > Also, java 8 and above is getting a lot leaner to use, api, linguistics .. so the gap with clojure is a bit less than before.
