I’ve found that Kotlin has changed that, at least for me. I enjoy playing with it even for small projects, something I’ve really never done with Java.

Seconded here, Java/Scala and maybe a bit of Kotlin are used for client projects but personal and play projects I almost always do in Kotlin.

I will wax poetic about Kotlin to any programmer that will listen. To me, it feels like a language created by seasoned Java developers who were tired of the tedious parts of writing Java.
