I never heard of java devs playing around with java, IDEs et al. in their free time either. I'm sure they exist, but sounds entirely foreign (hello Apache!).

- jicea 6y agoI’ve found that Kotlin has changed that, at least for me. I enjoy playing with it even for small projects, something I’ve really never done with Java.
- vbsteven 6y agoSeconded here, Java/Scala and maybe a bit of Kotlin are used for client projects but personal and play projects I almost always do in Kotlin.
- wassenaar10 6y agoI will wax poetic about Kotlin to any programmer that will listen. To me, it feels like a language created by seasoned Java developers who were tired of the tedious parts of writing Java.
- pjmlp 6y agoPlenty of us, how do expect Java open source projects get born? Or Android apps for that matter.
