What does /g/ think of Kotlin?

The most worthwhile before Google's support I found being used on was https://github.com/inorichi/tachiyomi. Suddenly it became a popstar of JVM languages.

It runs on the JVM so I give like 0 shits. Anything can beat Java so I'm not really impressed with their whole "it's so much better than programming java" shit.

They got to stop making so many JVM based languages, as well as interpreted languages.

If it gains a bunch of traction I'll take the time to learn the basics. Until then, it seems like just another JVM language to ignore.

I don't think of Kotlin.

Java is one of the fastest GC'd languages, inluding C#

they're making so many JVM based languages because the JVM is great

Kotlin is just a slightly less shitty Java. It's not anything of value.

this is true, but the language creators of all these memelangs advertise them as better than Java so they must have some merit besides syntactic sugar that makes them actually better. What I'm getting at is that Java isn't a language I'd consider fun to program in even if it happens to be a productive language, and these languages usually target the whole 'boilerplate' or 'syntax' part of java so I'd say trying to improve on Java not being some boring pajeet language is not an impressive feat.

My preference but, I like my programs to run on the metal, LLVM is ubiquitous enough that language designers have the access to making languages that compile to machine code instead of IR.
