Kotlin seems kinds of pointless with the features in newer Java versions

  No amount of lipstick on the java pig will make it as ergonomic to use by default as kotlin.

    Harsh but have to agree.

    It is enough that it is the Java Virtual Machine, not Kotlin Virtual Machine. Hence why Kotlin only really matters on Android.

  Just looking at Java’s upcoming string interpolation makes me so happy I moved to Kotlin years ago. https://openjdk.org/jeps/430 https://openjdk.org/jeps/430

  Would Java had advanced without Kotlin on its doorstep?
  • pjmlp 3y ago
    Yes, because Kotlin hardly matters in regards to the JVM.

    Lots of languages are converging on features and idioms. Scala and Haskell have had an influence on New Java too.
