Looks really pragmatic and I'd be glad to see this succeed.

Is anyone able to credibly comment on the likelihood that these make it into the standard, and what the timeline might look like?

Kotlin is really cool and arguably better than Java. But the language is very hard to read ('easy' to write)

I had the same immediate reaction. This style of code is something the Scala community used to be in love with, and was criticized for it. The community has largely moved away from this style, so it's interesting to see history possibly repeating itself with Kotlin.
