here's the point. I dont have an opinion on the language design of scala vs kotlin. I am merely pointing out that Kotlin has a much larger community adoption.

I am merely pointing out that Kotlin has a much larger community adoption. and it was never backed by corporates.
Ultimately - adoption matters.
- kaba0 5y agoNo way —- Scala is a much bigger language. Kotlin usage is basically null outside of android (and even there, native may very well be bigger), while Scala is used by several companies for backend, data science, etc. I do know for a fact that eg. Morgan Stanley for example has many backends running it.
- sandGorgon 5y agoactually not true. ever since spring and everyone started supporting kotlin officially, a significant number of startups use Spring Boot, etc through Kotlin. https://spring.io/guides/tutorials/spring-boot-kotlin/ https://spring.io/guides/tutorials/spring-boot-kotlin/ in fact, this data is fairly accurate - check out the stats on rise of Kotlin's popularity. https://www.developernation.net/blog/infographic-programming-languages-adoption-trends-2021 https://www.developernation.net/blog/infographic-programming...
