Tasted a very little bit of Kotlin and Groovy when learning Android dev.
Kotlin seems like a really fascinating language. imo, my impression was that the Kotlin is made by somebody who loves UML. Was very interesting, but Mobile dev. was really not my thing, so stopped there.

Have been willing to learn Scala for Big data. Have been on my to-do list for months.
Love the functional programming futures of other languages, so excited to try it out more.
Thank you for the amazing article with rich resources, as always!

Yes, one of the reasons a couple of my friend learned Scala is for Big Data and Spark, but you are right, it's the right mix of OOP and functional programming which is Scala's USP.

Your posts always make me ambivalent.
Those justify my to-do list, and make me nervous that I can't try them out right away. 😳

To be honest, you are not alone. Actually, I have been learning so many technologies now that I have to push many things to next year but yes it always depends how deep you want to go. I follow jack of all and master of one principle :-) and Java is my master :-)
