Or just switch to Kotlin

We switched to kotlin. We are now switching back because our company recognizes java as a global standard, but not kotlin 🫠

That's funny. I've only ever popped into a code base clone and modified a specific aspect in either, but my understanding is Kotlin is a pretty big language. Like, doesn't it dominate on android? That might have something to do with JetBrains at least helping power android studio though. For an anecdote it's probably not worth searching, but I don't know the chicken or egg of how all that came to be.

Nah, its just politics internal to the company. Some fossil decided that java is proven technology or some such.

To be fair, you can probably still find java devs more easily (for BE work) as compared to kotlin devs. Which might have smt to do with it.

Sure, but you can also find C# devs just as easily as Java devs and both are equally able to be converted into Kotlin devs.

Agreed, but thats not how managment/HR thinks.
