I wanted to learn how to make an android app and it seems to be pushing to use Kotlin (official tutorial). I thought I was going to use Java (that I know). So I'm a little lost.
Is it really better with Kotlin than Java? Is it a good investment to learn Kotlin?

I just want to be able to make android app for myself and maybe it could drive me somewhere at some point professionnally. I have a web dev formation.

In my experience it's pretty bad. Buggy, poor support (as in responding to bug reports), hard to test, very verbose components library. Not a great experience over all. I would try react native for my next project but looks like Tauri will be getting Android support soon so I will try this first.
