Not my intention. But yours was a bold claim, and I wanted to hear your thoughts.

I do not agree with you. Scala is a mostly functional language, and Kotlin is mostly imperative. How is that fixing Scala? They are two different languages, and Kotlin being newer, is inspired by, among others, Scala.

I don't think that was nattmatt's intention. It sounded like a genuine interested question to me, and I for one would also love to hear someone expound on this topic.
