The problem with Yegge's post, is he opens up with these arguments:
"Unfortunately -- for long complicated legacy reasons that nobody cares about -- some of Android's core APIs really are bad. I mean baaaaad bad. Shut the book, take a deep breath, and go out for coffee bad."
"It turns out the perfect killer app here -- and this brings us full circle -- is Android's crappy Red Light APIs."
He then concludes with:
"Kotlin manages to help you route around just about all of Android's Red Lights, and turns the experience into something that on the whole I now find superior to iOS development. "
... but offers no compelling reason how Kotlin supports this conclusion.
