Character Sketches
Kotlin
The diplomat who made peace between Java and good taste. Kotlin looked at decades of JVM pain and said 'what if we just... didn't do that?' and everyone agreed.
Gleam
The new kid who showed up and immediately made the honor roll. Still young — hit 1.0 in 2024 — but already the number-two most admired language. No null, no exceptions, no implicit behavior. Radical simplicity as philosophy.
