I'm quite surprised by this request, given that Kotlin doesn't really improve on classic Java language problems to a quantifiably better degree than later JLS improvements. Further, Kotlin seems to bring along its own design baggage from the very beginning which makes it little more than a distraction for most users I've seen try to pick it up.

Disagree. Have you ever use Kotlin? Because it's such a wonderful and simplified experience compared to Java

Java is moving in a much better direction compared to when Kotlin first came around.

as someone who has used both (on android) a bit, i also prefer kotlin, but not by such a huge margin that java makes me feel bad.

aside from nullability and a few conveniences, what are some examples that really push it over the top for you?
