So this guy has [0]:

. advocated Javascript on the server-side

. tried to get goog to support Ruby

. is active in Lisp, enough to get it mentioned in wikipedia twice

And now is enough of an expert in Java and Koltin to instruct us on which is "better". That's a lot of languages to be an expert in! It's almost unbelievable.

If someone who's been working in Java for years and then has done a significant Koltin project (100k plus SLOC) that's in production and they told me "Koltin is ?" I would listen to them. Otherwise I might be tempted to believe someone's writing another clickbait article.

Regardless, looking to his wiki history, it seems he's, charitably, outspoken. Not someone i'd look to for a sober technical analysis.
