Do you it is worth to learn it as a first language? I think that there is still larger demand for Java developers than for Kotlin but I might be wrong.

Yes kotlin is an awesome language as a first programming language because it teaches u everything from basics, to oop, to functional programming, many beginners said that they liked kotlin since it allows them to write their code very imperatively and fluently, experts coming from other languages said that they see kotlin provided a lot of new and rich set of features that their previous language were not having, other than that many universities and colleges r starting to introduce kotlin in their courses to introduce oop and android, small to medium companies starting to move to Kotlin so they can write their codes in much safer and easy way. Other than that there is still much need of java developers, but need of kotlin developer r increasing by the day. Kotlin is maybe new to someone but u should know that kotlin is already 10 years old now, im very much happier with kotlin with no regrets inside, and its going to be much more amazing than ever.

Yes, I heard that Kotlin is praised by experienced developers, mostly Android developers. I did not know it is in demand. I will look into it and see how it is so I can start recommending it.
