> Kotlin ability to idiomaticaly reuse the multi billions of value JVM ecosystem make this language outclass all others "modern languages This is simply a large overstatement. There are many other modern popular languages on JVM that have unrestricted access to the exactly same ecosystem. To name a few: Scala, Dotty, Clojure, Groovy, Ceylon, Jython, JRuby. > Others are condemned to perpetually reinvent the wheel instead of making true progress. This is a funny statement to make when promoting a language that basically took almost all of its features from Scala and a few minor things from the others. There is nothing original in Kotlin. BTW: the ecosystem is not only libraries. It is also tooling. Kotlin is a single, proprietary IDE language. Quite limited compared to the other languages I listed. As far as removing redundant repetitive code, while Kotlin may be slightly better than Java in this regard mostly due to a nicer syntax, it stands no chance compared to Clojure or Scala, which both allow extremely high level, abstract way of coding. Having said that, Kotlin is a fun language to write in. If I needed to write an Android app, this would be my first choice.
