I use it everyday for work, and it's an excellent language. I think it "falters" because it's more ambitious than anything else. Kotlin doesn't look as ambitious so far. I'd rather stick with Scala and see them keep improving. There are some promising ideas in the pipeline for future simplification without loss of power: http://www.infoq.com/presentations/data-types-issues http://www.infoq.com/presentations/data-types-issues
