As soon as I opened the page, I searched for "null" and saw it didn't show up in the original post. Leaving that out is almost a bad faith argument, because it is the number 1 Kotlin feature I doubt Java will ever get.
Now, I will say that build times are way better on Java. A large part of this is the ability to generate ABI jars with Gradle, which you can't do with Kotlin. If anyone from Gradle or Jetbrains are reading this, please please please try and make this work, I know there's ongoing tickets but in larger projects Kotlin and Java are not even close, for this specific reason.
