I came to Rust from Ruby-on-Rails and I’m absolutely done with method_missing and finding nils and NoMethodError in production.

This is not remotely a trade off I’m interested in making.




Having written some Rust and a lot of Ruby, I find Kotlin to be a really nice "typed Ruby". Just like Ruby, Kotlin is an OO language in the core that is really friendly to FP. It's terse (not as terse as Ruby, as there are types to specify); but MUCH terser that Java.

Kotlin is serious about null-safety.
