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.
One of the most salient features of our Tech Hiring culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.
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 :(

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

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.

On the contrary, that's what courage looks like

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
