You get exercise living your life
Something I've realized after moving to a walkable neighborhood is that you interact with your neighbors more because you run into them as you go about. Cars are isolating. Walking about builds community.

I find modern Java an absolute joy to program in. Kotlin doesn't solve any major problems I have with Java.
