Well I guess that makes it easier. I'd rather write Java than Kotlin anyway.

Really? That's the first time I've ever heard someone say that. What is it about Kotlin you don't like?
I just like Java. I know it well and mainly don't have issues with the problems kotlin is trying to solve. The main benefits I see of kotlin are coroutines (coming to java with project loom) and nullable reference types (which isn't a deal breaker for me).

I also don't enjoy functional programming, I find that it quickly becomes unreadable and kotlin is a weird mix between FP and OOP.
