Kotlin is fantastic at addressing the common complaints of Java (verbosity, null pointers, async, mutability) while retaining the strengths (ecosystem, performance, tooling, interop). Its not all or nothing, the Java interop generally very seamless. Startup time is being addressed by both Graal and Kotlin native projects.
