> The most batteries included multiplatform language right now is _by far_ Kotlin and nothing else is remotely close.
Kotlin is nowhere close to Java in this comparison. For all intents, there is just one realistic IDE for Kotlin. And realistically only one build system. And the community is very small. Java, by comparison, has many IDEs to choose from, many build systems, and a very large community to answer questions.
