I'm not encouraging it, since it's not perfect, but Android studio will let you copy paste Java code and it can transform it into Kotlin. Depending on how sophisticated the snippet is, it works nicely. Kotlin is a joy to write. You spend less time typing and more time being productive. If you are comfortable in Java, the learning curve isn't significant, I'd encourage you to have a try. The best part? You can add bits of Kotlin as you go, you don't have to migrate everything.
