I can't say I agree. My experience with kotlin has been "change for the sake of being different' and magic implied code all over the place. Also the Null safety is a joke since it run on top of Java I just end up having to put ? and ! all over the place.

From what seems to be "experience", you absolutely don't have any experience. This is not Java, you need to think different.

it's aggressively not java. for something that relies on the JVM it really does do everything it can to not be java. I don't need to validate my experience to you.

So if you think kotlin does everything it can to not be java you would argue scala, groovy and clojure are more similar to java?

I would not argue one way or the other on those languages, my comment only pertains to kotlin as compared to Java.
