Kotlin is really nice and I am very happy to have more than one great/fun/productive language however I feel like mentioning typescript might be worthwhile (yes I know it's "just" a superset of JS and you have a personal gripe with whatever you think JS is but hear me out). * Runs everywhere js/asm * MIxed bag of tooling, but generally you can find something amazing and you won't have to venture to sourceforge or similar to submit a patch * Doesn't suffer from the coljure/scala "We can totally use other JVM libraries but we only really do that If we have no other option" * Absolutely beautiful generics and spot on inference ``` function pluck<T>(key: keyof T, from: T[]) { return from.map(item => item[key]); } ``` * First class functions * Incredible flexibility * sketch in js then annotate * decide on strict nulls * decide on implicit types * various approaches to composition * Amazing IDE support(VSCode)(This technically falls under tooling ;)) * One of the few cross-platfrom languages that feel pretty much identical on all the platforms [edit] Formatting
