An example is smart contracts on the Corda blockchain, which is programmed in Kotlin. It may be me, but I have seen more Kotlin outside of Android than on it.
Kotlin seems kinds of pointless with the features in newer Java versions
No amount of lipstick on the java pig will make it as ergonomic to use by default as kotlin.
Harsh but have to agree.
It is enough that it is the Java Virtual Machine, not Kotlin Virtual Machine.
Hence why Kotlin only really matters on Android.
Just looking at Java’s upcoming string interpolation makes me so happy I moved to Kotlin years ago.
