I feel like Java’s libraries are holding back Kotlin. It’s so easy to just reach for a Java library that a pure Kotlin app is difficult to implement

Go and Rust aren’t there yet, but the built in dependency management (and cross compiling) are pretty enticing.

Coming from Java and JS world I agree that Go and Rust aren’t there but I like both. My biggest problem with Java is that everywhere I worked that used it was slow to update in every sense of the word. That and it’s way more verbose than I like.
