What Kotlin still misses is somehow a good testing ability, to test it via Java Test Suites seems strange.

Also I still miss a good build tool. I mean Maven really sucks, Gradle is kind of okai, but there is no support of autoreload project on change (like sbt has via sbt-revolver or playframework internals) however that is mostly helping web development.

Also some other things aren't really written out, like threading or some kind of Akka stuff. Also these days a language needs Dependency Injection, a good Integration with JSR330 would be great.

Also for some functional workflows something like pattern matching would be great and a @tailrec annotation like scala.

And please, for gods sake, remove labels and break/while.
