Kotlin is slighty better Java. No more getters, setters, hashcode and toString. Kotlin is also much better Java for asynchronous programming, null-safety, and functional programming. It’s modern Java.

Same goes for Scala and Case Classes. Alas the type astronauts went crazy with Scala, scaring some folks off.

I agree. I wish the Scala community would inherit some of the simplifying culture of the Go community.

The philosophy behind Kotlin and Java really couldn't be more different. Go is much closer to a modern Java than Kotlin.

Kotlin does have some nice additions. But it is very much a kitchen sink language. I wish I could take some of those nicer additions and leave the sink.
