AFAIK it’s an excellent language let down by political in-fighting in the ecosystem and subsequent fragmentation of is otherwise ‘standard’ libraries. IMO this kills the language.
Kotlin offers most of what Scala does with a much more solid and supportive ecosystem, it’s the obvious winner in the ecological niche of ‘better JVM languages’, for me.
Clojure in my opinion is the most beautiful and powerful language I have ever seen.
It has the full power of java ecosystem, amazing and simple concurrency, extremely simple syntax and semantics.
You literally start ascending to other dimensions after a while of writing clojure. It’s like you are talking to your software.
What makes it that bad?

Umm, Clojure joined the chat.

Been a while since I’ve used Scala, but I remember Scala being much more focused on functional programming than Kotlin.
Thanks, that’s really helpful!
Scala is essentially Java so most of Java criticism applies.
