I guess we'll see how Project Kotlin [1] does to move Java forward with some of these issues in mind (especially IDE support). [1] http://confluence.jetbrains.

- cageface 15y agoI like Scala and don't find it that difficult, but I grudgingly came to the same conclusions as the OP. It's just a bridge too far for any kind of mainstream acceptance. I think a less ambitious project like Kotlin could still do a lot to improve the lot of the Java programmer without incurring the extra complexity of Scala.
- Flow 15y agoI'm no Kotlin expert, but it looks like C# and that's what I do at work. I've been playing with Scala at home and the fun-factor in Scala is several times that of C#. Jetbrains should post a Kotlin vs C# to clear up what's really the difference between the two languages. If the difference is really small, are they trying to take advantage of Resharper to introduce a new language on the JVM?
