- LessDmesg 7y agoYes, so it's great to see at least some of them get to the 1.0 version eventually (and I mean Kotlin = Java 1.0). Now if only we could get people off the pre-release versions of Java (which for some reason are named "Java 11", "Java 12" instead of "Java 0.9.1", "Java 0.9.2" as they should) and on to the real deal! Seriously, I have great hopes for Kotlin. It corrects some Java's most egregious sophomore mistakes, it doesn't try (and fail) to be Haskell like Scala did, it's accessible AND has a major company behind it. Kotlin is surely something I wish I could use at work.
