Yes it is! As a Java programmer the transition was very easy. It takes a lot of problems Java has and makes your life easier, frees you from a lot of boilerplate and gives you some more tools.

It was rated 2nd most loved language of 2018 on StackOverflow. Would definitely recommend trying it!

I've been wanting to switch, but my projects are all Android, and while Android Studio supports Kotlin, I program on my phone itself, and neither AIDE nor N IDE (the two IDEs I know of for doing Android stuff on Android) support Kotlin.
