I agree there are a lot of misconceptions about Kotlin. I've had people ask me what I use at work and immediately assume I'm an Android developer when I say Kotlin. Plus, I see a lot more tutorials for Kotlin in mobile development than in web development.
KotlinConf just happened in Amsterdam and results are in: Kotlin is used two third of the time to do Android stuff, one third to do all other kind of stuff with a majority of that rest being backend stuff.
Obviously 2/3 is a lot, and no wonder, Android is a massive success story.
But the other third matters too and has a right to exist.
Yeah, it's a shame everyone associates Kotlin with Android. SpringBoot with Android is just great...
With the current geopolitical situation the name is not the best PR though :(
On the contrary, that's what courage looks like

This article blew up unexpectedly, but I'm very honored to have been featured on This Week in Spring - April 11th, 2023
Spring is big ecosystem and Boot generally builds on Spring's opinion's as it relates to their entire ecosystem. This isn't a bad thing . But if you want a different set of opinions take a look at micronaut.
Actually Micronaut was a direct copy of spring. They didn't even actually change any of the documentation or package names at first. So basically you're using a lesser version of spring boot
If you want something different then maybe look at q u a r k u s
I've tried Kotlin, and honestly I didn't like the syntax. For some reason, I can't get behind types after arguments and functions, but maybe that's just me being old.
If java isn't broken for you, don't fix it
Exactly my thoughts. I like the verbosity and C style syntax
I couldn't care less about the syntax. Kotlin greatest features are:
These eliminate 90% of boilerplate code Java is famous for.
This whole article should be: "Yes, there is Spring Boot for Kotlin, it's spring Boot."

What about using coroutines with spring? With spring graphql?
I think you are missing the point of the article
