A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

is there a good article about why kotlin is great? It's obviously better than java, maybe it's better than scala, but it does not make it a great language.

vaskir: There are many articles about what makes Kotlin great, but to name a couple of things here:
1) Null safety
2) DSL construction
3) Pleasant lambda syntax.

Thanks. Again, all these say the only thing - "Kotlin is better than Java".

So I guess the question is, what do you want to compare it to?  Pascal?  Haskell?  LISP?  Scala?  What do you want to use it for?  Kotlin in my favorite language, but the qualities that make me enjoy it may not be relevant to you.
