I absolutely love Kotlin for its versatility creating Android applications. Its nice to see other engineers appreciate the power of this young language :D

you really need to do also an episode on F#, it has like 95% of the fueatures you were excited about, including member names as strings :)

Actually writing functions with = and one implicit return expression compile just fine in Kotlin. Example: fun square(n: Int) = n*n. Return type is also automatically inferred :)

Same for most of the ": Student" in your code, you can just leave it away for even cleaner code, it will get inferred just fine.
