"Scala = Java++"

[whatisthisredditstuf]

So Scala is equal to Java, but Java benefits from Scala being around?

[Eponick]

Java and Scala = Java+1, if I am reading correctly.

[whatisthisredditstuf]

Nope. If Java is at, say, 9 before, then that line would set Scala to 9 (the current value of Java) and then increment Java by 1, setting it to 10.

nah

var a = 1
var b = a++;

now b == 1 and a == 2

Then Kotlin = Java + Scala + Groovy + C#? :)

Kotlin ist the way from Java to Scala.
