Dotty: a next generation compiler for Scala

Yes, it's awful. It's the opposite of that; it's removing general abstractions that Scala got right and replacing them with zillions of special cases.

Ceylon is what you should be looking at.

I would do more things in Ceylon if it wasn't plagued by performance problems. So far the only way I've found is to avoid any of the few libraries written in Ceylon and just use Java libraries but if you're going to do that then Kotlin's interop is far more appealing.

How so? Kotlin's interop isn't actually any better as far as I can see?
