Scala had its chance, and it didn't work...no matter what Martin and his boys, and his minions want. Kotlin will take over Java. That is fact. Mark my words on 11/05/2011.

Your problem is that you think that Scala can overcome its perception problem. No, it can't. Scala is history and will never be anything. Look to Kotlin.

Kotlin will cure the Scala curse. Scala is history...no matter what Odersky and pals try to recover it from. Scala is history...it's time to market and bad perception...adios.. Kotlin will be the successor to Java.

The difference is that we won't have an Emacs/Vim plugin for years and years after it's initial release. Plus, it's not a dynamically typed language and not Scala

Even though Kotlin is still essentially vaporware for those outside Jetbrains, we know that it'll have at least decent (if not great) IDE support right off the bat when the alpha/beta is released. I think that Kotlin could be the Java succe

I'll pass on whatever Paul is smoking. I guess there's a psychological condition (I'll coin it Slashdotitis), where the downfall of Microsoft is just right around the corner - or in Paul's case it has already happened. Here's a cluestick.
