> Kotlin is strictly worse if you value language features above all else. In that, there are several (several!) features it doesn't have.

Could you please elaborate on that? It was my understanding that Kotlin did everything that Java did (or any JVM-based language) but actually added first-class support for basic features missing from Java that required magic sauce like Lombok to fill in the gaps.
