Kotlin's aim seems to be a more concise variation of Java, plus some functional-isms.
It also runs on the JVM, and in most cases generates very similar bytecode, usually has basically the same runtime speed, and similar compilation speed.
The language is also close enough to Java that existing Java tools should have no problem with it, so adoption can be smooth, even gradual.
