I've put out rc2 now that we have some fixes in place there. My professional situation has changed since I proposed this. Nowadays, I've been using Kotlin for a project, and I'd have to say that it would be far more appropriate than Scala here due to being easier to learn as a Java developer (or just in general) along with better overlap with Java best practices (Kotlin is essentially a language inspired by Effective Java). Plus, now that Android developers are getting more familiar with Kotlin as well which could potentially attract contributors (besides being a hip cool language or whatever).
