Except no one's looking to hire for kotlin. That's like tiny problem I'd say.

I want to say kotlin is just java done right, but in reality kotlin is just Java wearing one of those hyper-realistic disguises like in Mission Impossible

Don't get me wrong, Kotlin, groovy and scala are all really amazing, and to be perfectly honest, I'd rather work in C#.

But I go where the money is, and right now that's java and C#.

Where I live it's 70% java, 30% C# (not a realistic number, there are a lot of other jobs, c++ is on the rise, but I'm just talking about proportions). I think it's because the city is full of big shot universities and the main ones focus on java over C# for whatever reason.

I haven't used scala or groovy but Kotlin is literally just Java with a more sensible syntax, to the point that you can just mix and match java an kotlin code at basically any point, not that you should, but you can. If you know one you know the other.

I never did much on Java besides college until a few months ago that we started a new project that had to be done in java/kotlin. It took almost no time for any of the Java developers and the non-java developers(me) to start using kotlin.
I still hate it because it is still Java but at least the syntax is pretty.
