I wanted to learn how to make an android app and it seems to be pushing to use Kotlin (official tutorial). I thought I was going to use Java (that I know). So I’m a little lost.
Is it really better with Kotlin than Java? Is it a good investment to learn Kotlin?

I just want to be able to make android app for myself and maybe it could drive me somewhere at some point professionnally. I have a web dev formation.

    Even for someone who doesn’t program in java or Kotlin, I can trod my way through modifying things written in Kotlin where I’m hopelessly lost in Java.

      Eh, Java isn’t so bad… As long as you have your leather bound books detailing every single built in class at your fingertips…

      … And I guess a warehouse large enough to actually store them.
