I actually used Scala before Kotlin. I get what you mean in Kotlin being less powerful than Scala but for me this has turned out to be a good thing in bigger projects. Kotlin provides enough power to get the job done without giving people too much rope to hang themselves with.
- lmm 6y agoFor me it's not about power, it's about consistency. Scala has a couple of general concepts that get applied to everything. Kotlin seems to have a new ad-hoc way of doing every different thing. E.g. my teammate just rewrote some code to use a Scala-style IO type rather than suspend functions because none of us could understand which coroutine context was being used where.
