The issue is not who "stole" from whom but that people now seem to claim and believe that Kotlin's features are unique to Kotlin and for the majority of its features that is not true, they were taken one-to-one from Groovy.

I don't know a single person that like a Kotlin because it us revolutionary or new.

People like it because it is a less bad Java. Most of the benefits with fewer drawbacks.

I personally prefer scala but the market doesn't seem to be going that way.
