Kotlin's tooling for Java interop should go down in the textbooks as the prime standard for how to ease a programming language built for a run-time to mainstream adoption. It's just phenomenal. Not that Kotlin is introducing anything like this, but, I wonder if this sets a precedent going forward for popular programming tooling vendors to evolve as the primary distribution point for introducing new programming language research and paradigms to the industry.
