IMHO Kotlin is less of an improvement over Java than Scala is. Mostly the impression is Kotlin == the poor man's Scala
- kaffiene 14y agoI think Kotlin has much more chance of being a Java++ than Scala. Kotlin is simple, pragmatic and powerful - which will appeal to the average Java developer. Scala is powerful but complex which is far away from the territory that Java was good at. You have to remember, that Java succeeded against the background of dominant C++ because it was much simpler and helped tame complexity better than C++ (less obscure ways of shooting yourself in the foot). Unfortunately, Scala returns us to C++'s days of making it easy to do something wrong (with the type system) without it being particularly obvious what.
- cageface 14y agoIt still is, practically. It's also not really directly competing with Java the way a lot of JVM languages are. Kotlin is indeed much less ambitious than Scala but, as much as I like Scala, I think it's just a bridge too far.
