I agree with you, however currently JetBrains is making sure Kotlin works reasonable well on Android, while no one really cares about Scala on Android.<p>Yes many in the Scala community do care, but there isn&#x27;t an ongoing effort with Android Studio tooling integration as in Kotlin.<p>So this could be a way for it to pick up steam, but it remains to be seen if the Android team still keeps the &quot;We care only about Java&quot; attitude at the upcoming Google IO.
