Kotlin looks nice now but on the long term it's a bad choice since they're stuck on Java 8 they will always lag behind the real JVM and won't be able to catch up since they need heavy modifications.
- m0shen 7y agoIf you mean the java 8 bytecode version, that hasn't been true since April: https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2019/04/kotlin-1-3-30-released/#more-6991 https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2019/04/kotlin-1-3-30-rele...
