@abreslav - it was great hearing the podcast interview you had and I have few follow-up questions:
1. From the original discussion you had at Jetbrains - how similar is the language to the issues you discussed back then. What main principals remains and what was left out of kotlin?
2. If you start kotlin now from scratch, are there any significant changes you think you would have done?
3. How do you feel about the adoption level among developers? Is it above or below expectations? What do you think can push kotlin to be among the leading languages like what happened to go in 2016 (at least according to tiobe)
4. Do you see any downsides -feature wise - of having the language targets multiplatforms: js, native etc'
5. What do you think about claims that kotlin has too much konstraints ;-) - like uncle bob posted recently.
6. Where do you see kotlin in 5 years from now?

I am not sure slack is the right medium to answer those questions, but I thought other people might be interested as well.
