Not really. If you check google trends now you can see that it _surpassed_ Scala after the Google announcement and while it was a bump in trends if you extrapolate the trend it you can see that it will surpass Scala within a year. Higher ki

Yep, my thoughts exactly. I tried lombok when I was coding in Java and ended up dumping it beause it had more issues than it tried to solve.

Lombok has a lot of issues. First and foremost it won't compile for people who don't bother installing it for their IDE. This greatly hampers OSS collaboration because it raises barriers of entry. I know there is delombok but the

That's incorrect. Scala had 13 years to achieve something while Kotlin is only around for a few years. If you extrapolate the current trends you will see that Kotlin will surpass Scala __very__ soon.

That's incorrect. Right now I do all my development in Kotlin at my workplace and on the backend. We use Spring (which has native Kotlin support from 5.0 btw: https://spring.io/blog/2017/01/04/introd

Scala is the Perl of the JVM. :D

Yep I'm not even not touching it I'm not looking either. Kotlin is 1000x times more readable and writable.

This article is very poorly thought out. First and foremost it talks about the __fall__ of JVM languages yet it forecasts good things for all of those languages. The author also failed to check out things like the TIOBE index where Java is

I did Peter Siebel's tutorial which is suggested at the bottom some years ago and it gave me that "profound enlightenment experience". Great stuff.

I have posted this to HN a year ago but it didn't make it to the front page. I guess the audience was not ready for the story back then.

Writing a reasonable compiler would need a reasonable language, no? Scala had its chance in the last 13 years now it is time for this abomination to go.

It is like calling your gun a killer when you pull the trigger. Blame the bosses of the programmers. We just try to make a living like everybody else.

I did the same thing when implementing [TodoMVC]( http://todomvc.com/ ). You can check out the results [here]( https://github.com/AppCraft-Projects/todomvc-kotlin ). I will never write javascript again

We had a bug some weeks ago which was caused by a missing `trim` and an invisible chararcter. Our tester copied some text from a webpage which had such characters. This font is helpful in those cases.

The answer is relevant, it answers the question and it is also famous. I don't know what are you talking about.

The "THERE IS NO SUCH THING AZ EQ....." part reminds me of the famous "you can't parse html with regex" answer on StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1732348/regex-match-open

I think the key part is conrinuity here. What happens if you step into a device which disassembles you atom by atom then reassembles you (assuming that this is possible)? Relevant article: https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/12
