Oh yea, and Kotlin exists pretty much only to address Java's verbosity, and maybe a few small other quirks, and it did a great job at that. But you won't learn anything new conceptually. All you will learn is a new less verbose syntax for the same concepts. I honestly just hope Kotlin pushes future Java versions to improve on their verbosity and quirks, so that we don't need Kotlin in the future, but Java is not a pain to use anymore. I like Kotlin, but its also dumb to have a whole new JVM language works the same conceptually, just because Java never bothered improving on its quirks and verbosity.
