That's a fair point about the Apple ecosystem. I'm a Windows + WSL Linux and Android guy so I'm not knowledgeable about the ecosystem but from the HN announcements I've seen posted they appear to doing well. There are on

I write server-side Kotlin at $DAYJOB, for several years. Kotlin used to be a marked improvement over Java. A series of large language changes, starting with JDK 16, have leveled the playing field somewhat. Nowadays Java has Record types (d

I did for a few years. The power cord was the only cumbersome part of that since the charging block is so big. I'd usually unplug it if I had to move to another room and only bring the laptop itself.
