A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Could someone give me a list of arguments for why kotlin is a good addition to the field of computer science? Especially arguments to give to people that are in a C++ bubble you know? I know lots of C++ horndogs and I've tried to tell them the advantages of kotlin. I recently came back to kotlin and realized that it's actually a lot better to use than Java because of the optimization opportunities like inlining and even better generics that take account of variance and whatnot. I get that native is not at all a good idea because you'd have to basically create a whole new programming language just to make kotlin have native support but I digress. So what are some really good points to make in this kind of situation besides the ones that I specified. Of course, I think the problem on my friends' end is that they're thinking "what new concept does kotlin introduce" rather than "why is this language better than any of the languages that we already use" but again I digress
