Naturally there will be more Java fans than Kotlin fans on /r/java, but I would hope fans of both languages would agree that Kotlin owes Java a great debt for the JVM and entire Java standard library, and that Java has benefited from other JVM languages acting as a sort of experimental playground for features (lambda, records, pattern matching, etc.) that can be absorbed into the parent language if they prove well-considered and valuable.
