I’ve used Kotlin enough to be comfortable but Java is still my go to for personal projects.

Java + StreamSupport + RxJava (and formerly + Retrolambda) is a very modern feeling language.

Heavy use of Optional makes the null safety issues a little less worrying and all my apps are built around AutoValue objects which are a bit like Kotlin data classes.

And apparently Java 10 has ,`var` keyword. It won't be long before Java has all the goodness.
