Ask HN: Learning Kotlin if you don't know Java

What language are you coming from?

Kotlin is a modern language comparable to swift, rust, Scala or ocaml. Learning it is workthile as you’ll learn modern language concepts.

Might be tricky at first but embrace the type system, it’s a good tool for larger projects.

You’ll have to bite the bullet eventually and Kotlin is a nice inroad.

I am more than happy to embrace static typing, I wish it was an option for Python (Yes I know about hint's)! I think I am going to do some beginner level Java and get the basics of the language, and then switch over to Kotlin and learn the advanced concepts there.
