Kotlin has its own stdlib which runs on multiple platforms other than JVM.

I've used Java, Python, Ruby, Go and Kotlin. Kotlin is def my favorite and goto. Do you have any specific examples/complaints?

Interesting, I find Kotlin just marginally better than Java. It doesn't have checked exceptions which is annoying. You can't use a simple return in lambda functions.

As for other languages: Python is ok for smaller stuff. I don't like Go. My favourite languages are probably Swift and Julia. And recently, I've grown to really like C++ although I used to hate it.

What do you mean by simple return? If you need granularity you can `return@scope`

Barely. You can't even read a file without java.io.

They just announced a bunch of additions to the stdlib (including I/O) at KotlinConf in order to better support multiplatform
