Kotlin isn't the first language offering any of these features, not even remotely. Even if you look only at the JVM: Scala is much older.

- binkHN 2y agoI think the point is Kotlin incorporated great stuff from a few languages, Scala being one of them.
- hocuspocus 2y ago... which is the exact opposite of being "the first".
- mike_hearn 2y agoScala isn't "python weight" as it's much keener on obscure operators and other syntax sugar than Kotlin or Python.
- hocuspocus 2y agoWhat are the obscure methods in the standard library? Kotlin has grown into a much quirkier language overall, its grammar is significantly bigger than that of Scala.
- sn9 2y agoHaskell and SML are even older.
