It is mostly C# that is keeping Java on their toes. Java competes with C# than any other language in this world. In the enterprise space, it is either Java or C#. If you check most of their improvements, they were done ion C# first, then they follow.
- guelo 7y agokotlin copied a lot from C# first.
- madiathomas 7y agoNow that is a good strategy. Copy directly from a language that is moving at a very fast pace and competing directly with the language you want to replace.
- pjmlp 7y agoKotlin will never replace Java, unless you are speaking about Android Java.
- byte1918 7y agoOf course it won't ever replace it but it has the potential to overtake it.
- pjmlp 7y agoMaybe when I see the first JVM written in Kotlin I will consider that scenario. Even considering ART as the KVM, isn't a safe deal, as it is written in a mix of Android Java and C++. And currently its potential is very tiny when measuring all JVM guest languages against Java, using any recent language report.
- madiathomas 7y agoI am indeed talking about Android Java.
