Its trying to be everything, but its good at nothing. Even with spring boot, it has a painful edges.

Learning a language isn't a huge burden. Frameworks and libraries can alleviate huge burdens. Kotlin avoids the benefits of frameworks and libraries while giving meager benefits in term of language constructs.

Can you elaborate on the painful edges and the benefits of frameworks avoided?

I wanna understand better as I do kotlin in daily basis, some with spring, some with ktor and some with android and I don't get your points.
