You must have not written much Kotlin then as no, it really won't come close still. Even if they manage to get everything planned in for 12 - which they won't - most will still wait for the next LTS anyway.

Errr...
Anyone who knows Java/Kotlin will have experience with Spring Boot so it's easy to find good people. The whole platform is as mature as it gets at this point and the docs/questions cover pretty much everything.
It's really easy to get started when working on smaller projects, but you can also easily scale and integrate loads of other technologies if/when you need to. You might not need a complex caching layer, monitoring, metrics etc when you're starting out, but you know you can add it in if needed.

Anyone know what has actually changed?
If you're pregnant and want my seat then just ask me - I'll always happily give it up.
I update mine every so often, never reply to any recruiters and connect with a few colleagues I know who use it religiously. Best way to use it in my opinion.
I get that they say that everything is encrypted, but really it could be a lot worse. I definitely won't be switching password managers just because of this like some people are saying.
As others have said the open source community for Java is still leaps ahead of C#. It's not often you find a library which doesn't have a Java connector/implementation. For C# on the other hand you tend to be much more limited in your options.
I guess this used to be a lot due to the platform dependence of C# (and probably still is). Hopefully .Net Core can help with that, but it's not ready for prime time yet IMO.
