Not sure I would agree with that - I think Groovy has at lest as good, maybe even better compatibility than Kotlin.
- The_rationalist 6y agoInteresting, I don't know groovy much but Kotlin has two major points in addition to interop it has idiomatic interop: 1) The kotlin standard library is the Java standard library. 2) kotlin feel similar with Java and has analogues to almost every Java feature e.g SAM conversions. The fact that groovy is dynamic make much less suitable for hybrid code bases (half Java half X)
