Kotlin vs Java: which is better for backend development?

The question is about Kotlin .

Answer:
Java is widely used and benefits from a large ecosystem, mature libraries, and long-term community support for backend development. Kotlin offers modern features such as concise syntax, null safety, and improved productivity, making code easier to maintain. Many organisations prefer Kotlin for new projects, but Java remains strong for stability and legacy-system compatibility.
