I've used it to write a real time HN clone using GRPC. It was a wonderful experience. The Java interop is no joke, it works flawlessly.

When you have the option to use Java 8 without caveats (unlike in Android), the benefits of Kotlin aren't really _that_ visible.

I'm never going back to Java on Android though.

Yes.

    val person = selection?.organization?.owner?.let {
        setTitle(it.name)
        setImage(it.image)
        it
    }

Java the language is verbose, sure... but the type system?
