&gt; I&#x27;m tired of the Kotlin hype (particularly with it unreleased, and so rarely used in production)<p>You call it hype, I call it enthusiasm.<p>But regardless of the names we use , what I find very interesting is that Kotlin is generating such positive feelings even though it&#x27;s not even 1.0. I haven&#x27;t seen this happen for languages in a while (probably &quot;ever&quot;). What&#x27;s also striking is that most of what I read about Kotlin is positive, and again, languages hardly ever generate positive feelings so widely across the board.
