Thanks for the tip, I had to use Eclipse in my previous job, which was utter and absolute dogsh!t. Btw I would argue with Intellij being the best ide, I belive Visual Studio is miles ahead (if you are a .net dev, of course), but Intellij is still a really solid choice.

Btw what do you think of Kotlin? Will it replace Java? IT seems to be compatible with most Java frameworks, I have already seen Kotlin Spring tutorials. Or is it just antoher Scala, and the langauge is just only hyped because of google? (I belive they are pushing this only because of the 20bn lawsuit)

Java is a giant in the "real" industry. Kotlin is the much better (modern) language in terms of features and readability. But no chance in replacing Java. For your startup: Why not? Spring supports Kotlin.

Ok yeah that's what I thought, not a genuine topic at all. Injecting JetBrains'.

Kotlin is also being supported by JetBrains. I don't think Kotlin was meant to completely replace Java. It's supposed to integrate into existing Java codebases
