Java does not lock you into Jetbrains IDEs. The fact that you basically need IntelliJ to program in Kotlin is a big no no.

Kotlin, because: - nullable types - control flow operators are expressions - extension functions - lambdas with receivers, which are amazing by themselves, but also bring incredibly useful scope functions to the table. - better support of functional types - you don’t need functional interfaces with clunky generics to define them.

Wtf I thought it was a silly question lol, but apparently people haven't tried Kotlin and judge it without knowing

Depends on the version. If Java 8 then Kotlin. If Java 25 then Java.

With no context, I'd prefer neither, really. I've used enough Kotlin to know it's alright, has some cool ideas, upgrading can be a chore, and it locks you into a number of tech choices. If I needed to write a JVM friendly library, Java is the way to go. Just try to interop Kotlin with Scala or Groovy... If I want to enjoy programming on the JVM: Clojure. The JVM itself, its bytecode/JIT/etc, backwards compatibility... Those are awesome. All said though, I would just prefer to not be tied to the JVM if I can avoid it.

I’ve never used either but I lowkey hate Kotlins lambda syntax.

Kotlin because Kotlin is more concise than Java Built-in null safety = fewer crashes Extension functions = cleaner code Coroutines make async easy Interoperable with Java = no migration pain Modern

Kotlins probably a good choice for me. Its used widely in industry might be interesting. Looks like a negative for me based on results 😂

On paper Kotlin BUT id rather work with java since i know it more and actually need it for work. I dont do many private projects so no room for kotlin. Atleast the kotlin bubble is not like the rust bubble, forcing it down my throat at every turn lmao.

I've heard of that "Kotlin" before. Once. Cannot remember where.

Am I the only one looking at this and seeing 36%, myself included, want to see something new they haven't ever played around with and 64% just want more of the same because they hate any novelty, change or deviation from the norm?
