For all the performance criticism Java gets, it does provide some immediate wins until Kotlin/Native takes off.
I think what a lot of people overlook is Kotlin doesn't strive to be phenomenal at <some niche task> like linear programming. It tries to balance pragmatism at being a general purpose programming language like Python. If you want to use a language that only does one thing well, you certainly can (https://ampl.com/).
On a side note, it surprises me when I see Groovy enthusiasts criticize Kotlin. People can have the most interesting biases.
