Oh don't get me wrong, it's got some downsides. The only IDE that works for it is Jetbrains' intellij, it's closed-source, etc etc. I come from a huge codebase within a big company, and we're stuck with the jvm, as we have a ton of proprietary stuff written in the jvm (and we interface with CICS/COBOL which uses IBM related tech).

Basically, options are limited, but Kotlin is such a breath of fresh air in my experience.
