Scala 2.12 roadmap

Well Kotlin isn't even officially released yet (1.0 candidate came out last week) so no company is probably using it for production yet.

And even after that, it wouldn't be reasonable for any big company to adopt a language that's not at least at version 1.1 or 1.2.

I don't think one can make any pronouncement about Kotlin's success or failures for several years.

I wouldn't be so sure. A bunch of Android developers are severely hurt from being stuck with Java 7. I'd expect many production apps to be written in Kotlin pretty soon, about as fast as the switch from Objective-C to Swift went.

Scala is also an option and currently looks better on the cv.

This will of course improve for Kotlin, specially if they get some Google blessing.

EDIT: Also forgot to mention that on Swift's case, it is a first class language being pushed by the platform's owner, not a 2nd class language without any kind of consideration from the platform SDK.
