Even though Kotlin is still essentially vaporware for those outside Jetbrains, we know that it'll have at least decent (if not great) IDE support right off the bat when the alpha/beta is released.
I think that Kotlin could be the Java successor that Scala never will be.

- eropple 15y agoIIRC, JetBrains will also be providing an Eclipse plugin (though turning it over to the community after initial dev).
