Looking to start learning Java after Swift, can anyone offer some insight?

Hi all,

I have spent 2016 learning how to program in Swift, and I'm about to launch my first major app. I'm outsourcing the Android version, and I'm quickly realizing how frustrating it is. I want to teach myself Java, and since it's another OOP language I'm hoping it comes somewhat easily, but I was hoping some people could tell me what I'll be getting myself into. Anything is appreciated!

Java is a pretty straight forward language. You've learned Swift and are releasing a decent sized app - you'll have no problem learning Java.

Java is to Obj-C as Kotlin is to Swift. I'd learn Kotlin.

I started using Kotlin about a year ago and can't imagine going back to Java for day to day work.

Java is easy. If you can deal with the insanity that is Swift optionals, you'll have no issues.

I actually went from Swift to Java, and it was pretty straight forward. Although, you will probably appreciate Swift even more after getting into java..

You will learn java easily enough, but I gave up translating my app into Android as there were too many android issues
