When you work at a Java shop. Kotlin is much nicer if you have to run on the JVM but aren't restricted to Java.

- mahboi 18d agoI don't understand the point of Kotlin anymore, now that Java has virtual threads and other stuff.
- joe_mwangi 18d agoOnce it gets nullness types, hackernews is gonna explode!
- mahboi 18d agoWait is this why people keep complaining about NPE? Is the nullness type thing a dog whistle for Kotlin? lol
- joe_mwangi 18d agoYes.. lol. The biggest argument now is Kotlin having nullness by default in the language. Just check around the comment section. Now java is planning to have them which will further help jvm to optimise for performance. Not sure what the next argument will be after.
