To anyone using Kotlin over Java, why?

[romaintailhurat]

I'm starting working on a Java code base, it's been years since i worked with this ecosystem. Java nowadays seems nice enough but i know of alternatives and Kotlin is the one that interests me the most. I browsed through what the official website has to say about the language but I'm very interested in having real life account of goods, bads and mehs of Kotlin.

I think the biggest thing going for kotlin is the null safety. I know how you feel I have used java since 1996 myself so its like why should I learn something else but in this case I think there are some good arguments for kotlin.
