> I just think that shoehorning Kotlin into "the go niche" is absurd That's what you say, but you don't really tell us why.

  It's not my burden of proof. If you think something like compiling kotlin instead of running a JVM is akin to compiling with go tooling, then at this point anything that somehow compiles to native (and beyond) is in the "go niche".

    > It's not my burden of proof. You're the one asserting that it's unsuitable. So it very much is. > If you think something like compiling kotlin instead of running a JVM is akin to compiling with go tooling, then at this point anything that somehow compiles to native (and beyond) is in the "go niche". I don't know about the other commenters, but that's literally the only criteria you've deigned offer so far, aside from some sort of conspiratorial implications.

      So if I say <any language> is in go's niche, it's your burden to disprove it? Look, this is getting ridiculous. Go offers easy+fast tooling out of the box. Any JVM language, compiled or not, will never be anywhere NEAR go's tooling in those terms. The extra compilation layer just makes it actually much worse. And I don't even find go particularly appealing.
