Anything that replaces the horribly overengineered and bastardized Scala travesty is welcome.
- pron 13y agoOne of the things that make the JVM so cool is the easy interoperability of most JVM languages. It's good to have languages like Java (or Kotlin), Clojure, Frege and Erjang on the JVM, each with its own strengths. Each can remain relatively simple and consistent, and all interoperate and share libraries. This is far better than that "bastardized travesty" trying to be all languages at once, and ending up an incoherent mess, retaining little of the advantages of those simple languages.
