Currently it sucks to write tests with JUnit while using Kotlin, there is Spek (Jetbrains made it(, but it's early (too early).

XML based Build Tool, I mean seriously? It should at least be somehow human readable.

A language should need a sane integration of it, not the library itself. Okai DI is definitly somewhat that isn't needed, but a good integration is still suitable.

I mean good Multithreading lives in RxKotlin which is based on RxJava, however I still think that Threading or some kind of Library which should handle mutli prozessors / async capabilities should live INSIDE the language (like go, erlang or lots of others).

I mean currently Java9 will get a lot of new things which will definitely help out Scala to compile faster and Java10 will bring these closer. So there is no real reason for a language that still lacks a lot of stuff. As already said, Kotlin is small, on some edges thats good, on some it's just too small and I don't get it why they built while, break and continue into a somewhat functional language. Especially when while, break and continue is really hard to handle / read.
