"Android development at Meta has been Kotlin-first since 2020, and developers have been saying they prefer Kotlin as a language for even longer."

Not one link to an opinion piece or two regarding: "kotlin vs java". The nearest thing I found was "What makes Kotlin different".

This sounds somewhat like a debate about which Germanic language is best. German, Dutch and English are all "Germanic" but which is "best"?

Obviously: That's the wrong question to ask and so an answer is doomed to failure.

In the end, does your generated machine code implore the CPU and associated hardware to do what you want it to more efficiently in some way that is not an abstraction?

Pissing contests rarely excite me. Why did you do this?
