It's sad to see Kotlin took over quite a share from Scala in my perspective. A lot of people are waiting for Scala 3 to make their decision which makes it worse. Don't get me wrong - Kotlin is a nice language. But Scala is one of the most language to bring novel ideas in to the industry. There will be even dependent type in Scala 3. A lot of people are keep bashing languages like Scala for complexity. I don't think they are wrong but in this way the industry is moving slow compared to the reckless style in 90s. People are just too caution with new languages nowadays, which makes things harder for new ones. New languages have to add a lot of compromises to get attraction. There's still a long way from carpentry to engineering.
