Kotlin comes from industry, not academia. It solves problems faced by working programmers today.

Most of those problems come from too much industry, not enough academia.

Newer web frameworks like Ninja and Play learned lightness from projects like Ruby on Rails.

Maybe I'm just showing my age, but having/requiring a good IDE is a anti-benefit for me. One of the things I'm loving about Go is just how little "environmental baggage" the language has. No Makefiles, superfast builds with automatic discovery of source files, I can continue to use vim for everything, etc.

I personally prefer having the option of popping into an IDE when needed, but do most of my day to day work in Sublime. Everyone has a workflow which works best for them.
