Would you use Kotlin for overall server-side applications instead of Java? Why or why not?

Kotlin is great for server-side work, Spring has very nice integration with it. I love the Project Reactor stuff they've added in Spring 5 too, which comes with its own set of Kotlin extensions.

Sure! It’s amazing for server-side programming and plays well even with J2EE.

It can use anything Java can, so it’s as powerful as Java and has beautiful syntax as a bonus.
