Steve Yegge has a fun article on why someone might prefer kotlin over Java: http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2017/05/why-kotlin-is-better...

Do note that Java has quite a few features now that it didn’t at the time of writing.



“More specifically, from JetBrains, the makers of the world-famous IntelliJ IDEA IDE, whose primary claim to fame is its lovely orange, green, purple and black 'Darcula' theme”

This must be a bad attempt at a joke, right? Darcula is a nice theme (I personally prefer high contrast), but surely IntelliJ’s code inspection and automatic refactoring have always been its claim to fame.


Yegge’s writing has a pretty sardonic sense of humor. I like it but I’ve seen it put off some folk.


Themes are the cup holders of the IDE world. You can't sell one without them.
