If Kotlin's only improvement over Java were its scope functions, that alone would be an overwhelmingly good reason to migrate. Scope functions are awesome, cannot stress that enough. Kotlin syntax makes writing functional code beautiful and simple... map and fold and filter are so much easier to write than in any other language that also have the same functions, such as JS. Again, that alone would be enough to migrate. But there are still so many more simple, but incredibly useful functions like SubstringAfterLast which takes a nasty, ugly Split function into a beautiful, precise line of code. Just one example of many.
