Kotlin simply is an attempt to fix Scala problems, which in itself is an attempt to fix Java problems. Clojure by design - simply doesn't have those problems.


What Scala problems does Kotlin attempt to fix?


Let's not go into the rabbit hole of "Scala has no problems"


Not my intention. But yours was a bold claim, and I wanted to hear your thoughts.

I do not agree with you. Scala is a mostly functional language, and Kotlin is mostly imperative. How is that fixing Scala? They are two different languages, and Kotlin being newer, is inspired by, among others, Scala.


I don't think that was nattmatt's intention. It sounded like a genuine interested question to me, and I for one would also love to hear someone expound on this topic.
