It seems like the author likes Java quite a bit. Kotlin, not being Java, seems to be his primary complaint. Take his first point - Kotlin allows variable shadowing. He doesn't say why it's bad or how it caused a bug, he just says that Java doesn't support it and he doesn't like it. Everyone is entitled to their opponion. But, this article doesn't seem to have much of a point. It would be like if I wrote and article about how I preferred cherry popsicles to grape popsicles. That my opponion and I'm entitled to it. But, I don't know why I'd want to be publish a blog post about it or why anyone else should read it or care.
