> Perhaps Kotlin will be for building large software systems
Are you arguing over what tense I used? When Jetbrains first announced it was building Kotlin, they wrote it would be designed to be used with IntelliJ, and that they'd then use it for their own internal software product builds. So it is for building large systems, that's its purpose.
When Groovy's creator announced Groovy, it was to be used to script Java. When Graeme Rocher took it over, he put in a MOP so it could be used with Grails, and later a DSL syntax for Gradle and a static compilation mode because it was there.
