If you're familiar with Java, adopting Kotlin is just a matter of setting it up and reading the docs frequently for a week or so.

If you want to, Kotlin can be practically Java without the over-verbosity and some nice extra features. In time you'll be writing less Java-Kotlin and more Kotlin-Kotlin, if you get what I mean. To me the syntax and structure is so resembling to Java that I haven't really had any confusions at all, most of my gotta-read-the-docs moments involve the concepts that you can use that aren't present in Java (along with the `when` version of `switch` which I've grown to love).
