Scala has a whole slew of problems of it's own. IMHO, Kotlin is where all the Java refugees on the JVM continent are at.
- travisgriggs 6y agoI use Kotlin so that I don't have to use Java. But it's still far from the "This is the Language I want to commit the rest of my career to." Language development looks a lot like the startup path anymore. Claim you fill a need. Focus on growth growth growth by adopting features from as many communities as possible as fast as possible. If it's trendy, add it! Have a flashy web page. Find some venture capital by getting a big org to underwrite/champion you. Figure out how to really solve problems and fix everything once you've got critical community.
