These aren’t ‘Kotlin features’ they’re just normal language features.

I really struggle to see Kotlin as being part of the debate here. These features are being driven by enterprise Java user pain points. And those people aren’t looking at Kotlin.

I agree that this would probably happen in the Java world, regardless of kotlin. However, I disagree with the statement that enterprise Java users are not looking at kotlin. From my view (in a large, global consulting business), we see large enterprise Java users adopting kotlin.

By Java devs who only ever wrote Java, and suddenly had to write Kotlin for Android. They're now aware of these features as a result and are demanding them in Java.
