I don't think it's Java fault per se, just the API design. Java8 streams, RxJava, BufferKnife injection, Guava, etc are pretty nice to use, especially in combination with Java8. There's no async/await, but if you use ReactiveX, you don't really need it.

Kotlin looks very nice, I'm just pointing out that if the Android View/Fragment lifecycle design is an issue, language design isn't the cause or solution, and most likely, you will need a middleware/facade to mitigate it.
