03/30/2025, 10:30 AMHello everyone, I'm just starting to learn spring boot. Should I go with Java or Kotlin? I know both java & Kotlin as I am an Android developer.

03/30/2025, 10:44 AM@Vampire Haha fair point! 😄 Just wondering if you've found any specific Kotlin advantages or gotchas when using it with Spring Boot vs Java? Figured you'd have real-world experience to share.

03/30/2025, 3:57 PMNot me, never really used Spring Boot and I personally would probably use Java, as it is my main language. But I'll probably not advice against Kotlin in a Kotlin Slack. 🤷♂️😄

In your situation, I'd choose the best guidance docs/book/tutorial first, then follow whichever language is used there. If you still have both options, choose Kotlin if that's the one you know less and you'll then be in a position where you'll learn more. 😎

I do not remember issues except with annotations and with JPA
