[Soot-list] Kotlin as future programming language for Soot?

[Laurie Hendren]

Hi Eric,

I am a little nervous about including another technology that future 
users must master in order to use and improve Soot.   If you were to 
change/add technologies,  then hopefully it would be only for some 
components where the Soot user would not have to modify the code.

In this issue we would like to get feedback from the community about whether or not this change would be desired. We find it hard to decide and would really like to ask you, the community, about your preferences on this point. It would be great if you could take a few minutes to comment here:
