> dart or kotlin? ... ocaml, SML, or F# + scala, go, rust, elixir/erlang Yeah its so much time to learn all this stuff. Its a good reason they probably will all fade, better stick to js/python/java/C#/C++ like everyone else and wait.

> better stick to js/python/java/C#/C++ like everyone else I would change Java to Kotlin here, since Kotlin has a 1:1 interop with Java while having goodies like null safety, type inference and functional programming without the academicism of Scala (and its slow compilation time). If you also account for the smooth learning, Kotlin is probably the safest bet from these 9 mentioned. A lot of businesses with Java codebases are already messing with it (and not only for Android).

  How does that 1:1 interop work for calling Kotlin co-routines from Java, or stuff without @JVM... annotations for that matter?

  Yeah I like Kotlin. The problem is I liked Scala, Erlang and Go as well and I spent a lot of time learning those and eventually discarding them.
