I am not saying I developed a strong disliking for the language: rather, I'm starting to miss Go's simplicity. But for Android-based app development, Kotlin is the recommended way to go, so I plodded on. Perhaps more cautiously. As you compile your Kotlin code, you generate JVM-compatible bytecode. The problem is, sometimes, that generated code is not what you want. Some situations even reminded me of troublesome times where we once thought relying on Spring Boot and scaffolding was a great idea. Code generation is always asking for trouble, especially if that duplication hurts your eyes and you'd like to refactor it out.
A few simple examples to demonstrate the issue. Suppose I want to write a static method on a class. That's impossible: Kotlin does not know `static`. The JVM does, however, and thus, translations are in order, and you have to learn to new syntax:
