First thanks for your excellent products. JetBrains rocks and i bought 2 ides from your business.
Now my question :
Why didnt you chose an existing language like Dart for instance?which would have been closer to java and still compile down to javascript. I think dart on the jvm would be a great idea.
Regarding Dart, AFAIK, we started working on Kotlin before Dart and Kotlin was first focused exclusively to target the JVM. The JavaScript came afterwards.
