Not having to use Java or any of its weird derivatives.
1 comments

I implore you to try Kotlin; it’s a fantastic language and is a wonder to code in
Kotlin is what I meant by "weird derivatives"

But anyway I have used it. Didn't understand why it existed then. Still don't.

All these weird languages and UI frameworks where you write hundreds of lines of code just do simple UI layouts, no thanks.

I implore you to try Rust.

Kotlin is just Java with extra steps.
