Re:Can I get some reasons to use Java instead of Kotlin? by cs-szazz on Monday May 17, 2021 @10:15AM (#27183649)
That's fair, though I will say Kotlin's type system having nullability built-in is something I doubt Java will ever fully add (instead of the annotations it currently uses). So in that respect, it's making it more type safe, but the delta between Kt and Java isn't near as big as TS and JS.

It can’t have it built-in without breaking backwards compatibility. NullAway adds this feature by enforcing sane use of @Nullable annotations.
