>kill Java
U wot m8?

sounds like a russian name
i bet this was developed by putin himself to hack elections

No. Fuck google.

Literally who?

No, just ceylon .. kek already dead

> language based on the JVM
> kill Java

You wot

>kill java
i prefer using killall java to make my pc run smooth

I think you must have confused with pic related.

On the big data / cloud / web server side it's somewhat of an "everyone but Google" open sauce group around Java / Scala, for the most part.

*Google* can't kill that one and even less by allowing an additional Android language.

Scala -while it's easily possible- isn't even much used for Android development. You don't generally hire people with more skills to do apps right now.

Kotlin is just the Swift of Android
:^)

i wish Sup Forums was more than blatant product shilling

wut?

Classic Jetbrains.

I hope they actually realize their native, JVM-less version, though. Fuck the JVM.

JVM is pretty good for a VM.

>Its primary development is from a team of JetBrains programmers based in Saint Petersburg, Russia (the name comes from Kotlin Island, near St. Petersburg).[3]

>no need for semicolons
>oh but let's use colons in function parameters for defining the types

why is it with every new language that they have to do one thing wrong for every one thing done right?

it might be for visual distinction between argument types and the actual arguments
still retarded since syntax highlighting does the same thing but better but hey, if you still use a monochromatic line printer as the only means to view your code this will greatly help you.

naming conventions leave typenames with uppercase and identifiers with lowercase

this problem is already solved

Oh look, yet another meme language

It's Java....with pythonic syntax

why the fuck didn't I think of this

All languages start as memes

What do you think they thought of C when it first came out?

not base data types
still not worth that additional alien syntax but whatever

Java is unkillable and Scala killed itself

Russians are the best whites. I dislike rest of the Caucasians very much.

good to see russian-developed language taking hold

Russians are the niggers of whites

It's so it's easier to write code on a chalkboard.

t. Russki

No. Rest of the whites are becoming black. Name one white country that will be white in 100 years?
I'm from ROK. Not even close to being white or russian. I only like East Asians.

actually yesterday was the day it graduated from a meme language to a real one

Russia won't be white in 100 years either.

we ll make sure it will, suka

it will. they are not invaded by blacks and middle easterns. america is dead because blacks and hispanics are majority for people under 18. europe's dead too.

I'm not buying into this.

nope:

>>still doesn't fix generics
you can't fix generics if you're compiling to JVM bytecode

White asian mongrels?

>here Jamal, have some piss to celebrate your new haircut
russia doesn't have the problem with 3.50 blacks it has. the problem is muslim population and no stalin to relocate them to siberia.

the whiteness of russia will be decided after putin is gone and whether our new leadership will have balls to nuke terrorist-breeding chechnya, dagestan, and dispose of muslim leaders in business and politics.

the whiteness of russia isn't a dispute to be decided
its the core element of their identity
without the white part, once simply cannot be russian

>sounds like a russian name

No shit, Sherlock, the devs are Russian.
