You can't see a future for a language that offers far more succinct code than Java, but maintains the ease of Java?

I think Java will close the succinctness gap with Kotlin. And I don't think Kotlin will be able to maintain ease as it evolves, because the design is very ad-hoc.

I don't see any syntactic features in Java 9 that will close that gap further, but I guess we'll see.
