But Kotlin is a programming language on its own and not a simple java substitute!
I could not agree more. When I picked up kotlin for the first time, I saw it as simply a replacement for Java, and did a lot of the things Lombok did. The more I use it, the more I've come to realize that I really do approach solving problems in Kotlin differently (and better) than I would in Java. In fact, new libraries I write in Kotlin, I'm trying to make sure they are multiplatform, so that I can't just treat it like a cleaner Java.
