That's basically modern-day Java, with Lombok and other tidbits. Furthermore, if I recall correctly, Java has better performance on web benchmarks than C#.
> Had Java been better, Kotlin wouldn't need to be invented.
Kotlin was invented to make a sugary version of Java, and thus drive more JetBrains sales. It got popular because Oracle got litigious. As someone who's been on the Java train for almost two decades, what usually happens, if any JVM Lang becomes too popular, Java has the tendency to reintegrate its features into itself.

Sure, assuming it fits the domain. Like, don't use Python for kernel dev or Java for some obscure ML/AI when you could use Python.
