Not sure I agree with that. We've been using Kotlin on all new projects for the last year or so and I strongly prefer it over Java at this point. It has many language conveniences that make the code more succinct. Suspend functions also make it extremely simple to parallelize certain things without any ceremony.

I agree. I've almost exclusively been working with Kotlin (and a little Go) for the past 5 years, writing backend code. Recently our team got the responsibility to take over an other project where the repos are written in Java. The difference is clear, it's like coding with one of my arms tied to my back.
