Kotlin barely has a standard library outside of the JVM. They only recently introduced experimental io support and the concurrency model is just plaim weird.

- pjmlp 7y agoYes that is what I mean with semantic differences. I watched a couple of KotlinConf talks, it appears that JetBrains wants to be the next Borland (Kotlin == Turbo Pascal), using the JVM and helped by Android to bootstrap their own eco-system. So even with multiple platform Kotlin there is only so much that you can use from each platform when deciding to go big like that. I don't see it working and think if they want to survive they should focus on the KVM (aka Android).
