If you don't mind C#, modern Java isn't far off. Writing Kotlin would not trigger your Java hatred at all. Configuring build systems is the same, but otherwise

If you don't mind C#, modern Java isn't far off. Writing Kotlin would not trigger your Java hatred at all. Configuring build systems is the same, but otherwise you won't have to do anything in Java that you hate. As the other commenter said, the only thing you lose is (sometimes) reading docs in your language, but there is a decent Java to Kotlin tool built in to Jetbrains IDEs.
