alt Hacker NewsAfter ~13 years of working with C#, I moved to Kotlin. It's such a beautiful language. When I have to read docs for a Java lib I realize why I like Kotlin.
I want to say culture around Java doesn't have to change, new culture is growing around succinctness (if not simplicity) of Kotlin, and it gets most of the benefits of Java ecosystem.

I also like Kotlin. The readability is awesome. ;)

I must say I prefer C# over Java. They're pretty similar in a lot of ways, but LINQ is much nicer to use than the Java streaming equivalents. And there are some odd warts like Java lacking unsigned types.
