If you're looking to stay in the world of JVM and want something functional, enjoyable, and a little different, check out Clojure.

Thank you. I am just curious to compare these two. Clojure is a whole different language (as I understand it), while Kotlin and Scala are more or less of the same league.

Fair enough. If it's strictly either/or and your interest is in getting exposure to Functional Programming, then go with Scala for sure.
