Hello you are right.
Kotlin is great and Java is good.

In fact the thing that made Andorid looks extra bad to me is Android.

And more specifically the way the Android team taught us to do Java.

  • Java 7.5
  • No typesafety anywhere
  • Lots of bad recommendations in the name of performance
  • Enums were supposed to be avoided (remember?)
  • God objects that do everything
  • Poor API designs
  • Poor Android documentation

So Java on Android as taught by Google sucks a lot.

Java itself deserves our praise
