> Last time I checked you needed like 500kb of libraries for any scala program compiled to Android. Kotlin is a few kb.
30kb for Scala is the figure elsewhere in this thread and that sounds a lot more in line with my experience. Note that you never have to use e.g. Scala collections if you don't want to (and thanks to typeclasses you can write elegant code that works with both Scala collections and Java ones, so you can reuse libraries across both).
> As far as I know, the way scala treats types and functions make it that sometimes you cannot call scala code from java. Well, you can most times but requieres a lot of wrappers. This doesn't happen in kotlin.
Nope. There's no difference, just kotlin propaganda.
