I agree. Kotlin is insanely comfy to program in. Lots of convenient features, good design, doesn't force annoying OOP boilerplate or FP constructs on me.

That doesn't make any sense. Being an anti-vaxxer is simply stupid, proven by real numbers and repeated experiments. Meanwhile, there are a lot of fair criticisms to OOP. Of course, a lot of them arise due to the fact that the skill floor for software development is quite low nowadays, but then again if we were all that smart, we'd just write C and C++ at the speed of light for everything. P.S: Rewriting hackernews in a functional stack is trivial
