Its kind of annoying that Google / Jetbrains had to invent yet another programming language when they could have gone with Groovy or Scala, two languages with very nice features. It just points to a bigger problem that Big Corporations don't accept grass roots based languages and keep dictating these silly technical schisms that force developers into one camp or another.

Hey Google and Apple, why not develop languages that are interoperable across language boundaries ? They have the money to actually build languages and environments that let a single developer develop apps for all major platforms...but instead they force you into unwavering allegiance to their dogma.
