It's nitpicky, but Java is just so fucking ugly and verbose. Does Kotlin extend beyond the Android ecosystem? I'd totally consider that if the case.

  Kotlin runs on the standard JVM, not just android.

  Consider Groovy if you're interested in something Python or Ruby-like but with access to the JVM and its ecosystem. It's basically the best of of both worlds with almost none of the downsides.
