Can I get some reasons to use Java instead of Kotlin?

I originally used MoonScript because Lua was an incredibly sparse language. Originally, that was why I chose Lua. As my use case (a game) continues to develop, now I want TypeScript with all its ES6 glory and maintainable types. I lament that nothing similar to ES6 came for Lua

for Lua there is Teal : https://github.com/teal-language/tl

Which provides typing and works in the lua vm.

Is that something you were looking for ?

If there's a major enough project in it that I can look at, maybe :) Looks promising, but I've been let down by many half-attempts in this space
