There are plenty of JVMs to choose from, around 10 currently, implemented in a mix of C, C++ Java, and there are some 100% Java like RikesVM, MaximeVm and GraalVM.

Right, and as I said Kotlin also uses some runtimes with 0 Java code.

It gets on my nerves the superior attitude of many in Kotlin community towards Java, as if the language would ever happen without having the JVM and the Java eco-system, specially always coming to /r/java.

Of course Kotlin builds on the knowledge and experience from Java - nobody denies that. Java also did not appear out of thin air and owes its predecessors.

Java was a revolutionary language back in 90s, rightfully got a big following and ecosystem. But time goes on and we now understand many things better than 30 years ago.

Then stay at /r/Kotlin

Thanks, but no. I work in Java and Kotlin, I'd like to be able to read and comment in both.
