A rusty nail through the skull is a relief if you are coming from Java, so that doesn't say much. (Kotlin is nice though)

@peterbetos I guess you meant Nullability?
Didn't had a single Nullpointer exception with Kotlin so far

I'm a little sad that Kotlin is so heavily hyped for android, while it doesn't get much attention as a replacement for Java in general ☹️
It's a beautiful language

I just saw the Trailer on their Website, but it looks like Kotlin is more similar to Phython then Java

@scon Didn't gave it a shot yet.
I read that Intellij at first considered Skala but eventually created Kotlin.
