Could someone paraphrase the argument for learning Kotlin? I understand it's essentially Jetbrain's fork of Java, motivated to some degree by the desire to provide useful realtime information to programmers working in the Jetbrains ecosystem. Presumably this implies that certain features present in Java that are ambiguous at compile time (e.g. generic types) might be winnowed away in the pursuit of a language more conducive to static analysis?
