I will confess that I'd struggle to go back to java now. Kotlin has all the sensibility with just enough power to make me happy. I get to live in the JVM eco-system without the song-and-dance of something like scala.
It seems like everyone in my current org is very against Java, somehow they'd rather build backend systems in JS. I'll never get it.
