I agree I have an attitude problem, Kotlin triggers me like nothing else. I'm scared that a semi proprietary kludge will replace my still totally adequate main language for superficial reasons of syntax sugar and hype when I can see the pitfalls from a mile away and taste them everyday from our overeager architect.
And it pisses me off even more that my tooling provider is the party actually building and promoting this substandard replacement and that I can't boycott them because the other IDEs are either legacy clusterfucks (eclipse) or glorified local websites (vscode).
As much as I try to keep my composure on HN and stay constructive in my contributions, I don't know how to help derail this particular train.
