Hi Bruno,
Abstractions are backed right into Kotlin: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/interfaces.html
They use some of the same keywords as Java, and you could just make a POJO if you want to shy away from the Kotlin syntax and create your abstractions that way.
As for Scala, I honestly didn't look too much into it. After programming in Java, I was really drawn in by the succinct and simple syntax of Kotlin. I did see Scala is a JVM compatible language and the syntax is very reminiscent of Java, but I wanted to try something different.
Great article!
I'm curious, what microcontroller would you recommend to get started in embedded systems?
