What language features does Kotlin lack that are so important to functional programming, that say Scala has?
Kotlin still lets you write awful OOP code that you could in Java.

I think this is more, that things are being developed without an explanation of its purpose. There's no "here are the new features in Android O" blog post

I started off a recent project in Java (heavy use of RxJava). Over time it migrated to a largely Kotlin codebase, which lends itself well to either OOP or functional.
I realized, so many of my method calls on my objects were only ever used once. Sometimes I'd create a class which just had one method. I had to assign a good name to this class, and it's method. I've since switched to heavy use of extension methods in Kotlin, and found I was mocking less for many tests, and writing less code that accomplished more. And variable naming was simpler.
At the end of the day, a good blend of OOP and functional programming are where it's at

I'm sure there is an iOS counter part.
I really hope they evolve Android's View system to something along the lines of Flutter. I'm so impressed with it.
