Scala and Clojure are a bit of a leap for a Java dev, which may come with some cost. I don't get that feeling with Kotlin - you can kind of slip into it, it's a very easy transition, and then you don't want to go back.

Sure, Java interop will make some code parts look a lot more like Java then like Kotlin, but I can't personally imagine that a team would decide to switch back to Java-only after using Kotlin for a while. Interested to be proven wrong if someone has seen that happen.
