The Kotlin language, an open-source project supported by Jetbrains, looks an awful lot like Scala but without all the deep holes and jagged edges. Could it perhaps be a more appropriate "better Java" than Scala, for the vast majority of current Java programmers?

I have a very selfish reason for asking this question -- I'm pondering whether to translate Atomic Scala into Kotlin (much of the motivation is "because it looks like it might be easy").

I wanted to put this up early in case someone wants to peruse the Kotlin docs ahead of time.
