Kotlin still has a lot for itself, with the scope functions, the delegation with "by", the syntax that make it very easy and lightweight to create a DSL (infix functions are great for asserts). I think it's a very expressive and elegant language if you use its syntax properly. Maybe some of kotlin's "workarounds" will be converted into the JVM equivalents in the backend.
