I think one feature of Kotlin that is underestimated is extension functions. Combine them with autocompletion and you've got a great developer experience. Finding the method you need no longer requires a Google, and optimisation pays off massively in terms of productivity by tightening the development loop.

Extension functions are dispatched statically which can be surprising if you can’t tell what is an extension and what isn’t
