Asked a question on r/Kotlin as I was bothered by the fact that Google did not include Java samples with the Paging library documentation on the Android developers webpage in hopes that I would get a reasonable explanation of why Java code was being sidelined and in hopes of understanding if future documentation will omit Java completely.

I was bombarded with negative comments and downvotes which ensued no positive discussions and answers, even my reasonable comments were met with anger and disgust.

I want to now highlight these problems on HackerNews, so that people here are aware of the behaviour of the Kotlin community in general and why they should avoid using their language, I also want to get this message across to Google that it should not enforce any particular language on the Android community.

I don't know kotlin, and I don't care to right now. However what you've done is the equivalent of barging into your neighbours house and complained about the wood used in their decking.

Look up 'netiquette' ... and read http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Then meditate on why your question was inappropriate for that forum.
