Since the dawn of programming language design people have been borrowing features and applying them to the new language through grammer. I am writing Jess which is based on JavaScript and css syntax, that is because there is a problem here I am trying to solve, inherently I need feature from both languages so that I can have js and css as compile targets. It's the same story for Kotlin, if you could only write a portion of a compile target, say half of JavaScript, you would have an inferior compiler. So IMHO it's nothing to do with design, it's just a problem to solve.
