> Kotlin as a platform is not mature enough to deserve the same qualification. With (1) a lot of Java backend projects migrating to Kotlin (let's be negative and assume 20%); (2) all of Android running Kotlin, which is around 80% of the world's mobile phones; (3) the world's best IDE authors building features and improving Kotlin; (4) the language being almost 13 years old at this point; and (5) Kotlin being 100% compatible with Java in both directions, I wonder what additional maturity would you be looking for. Can you point to a specific problem?

I mean, of course, Java has been here since forever and we've made careers out of programming for JVM. I'm wondering if you are referring to a specific maturity issue, or just want to highlight that Java was here for longer... if it's the latter, I don't think it can be a valid argument against Kotlin or in favor of Java.

Hard agree on the maturity, it's clear this person has literally just decided that Kotlin is immature despite it flying in the face of all facts
