So Javelin is written in Java, not in Kotlin. I don't mean to sound unfair but isn't it that saying "a Java/Kotlin blah blah" just a kind of marketing trick ? If I get Kotlin right every Java solution is also Kotlin compatible.

There's a difference between just being compatible and nice to work with. Javalin is being developed with Kotlin in mind. I'm a Java dev who wants to transition to writing Kotlin, but most companies are not very eager to make the switch. Javalin is intended to help ease this transition.
Ok, thanks that sounds fair.
