Too many engineers get caught up with the minor details of the syntax of a language and ignore the business implications of using an untested technology.
My job as a lead is to help scale my team, properly architect the application as well as reducing any risk / uncertainty while delivering new features to the platform.
The syntax doesn't save that much time in my personal experience. The actual amount of words that's typed might be less.. it can be cleaner than Java but if my team is spending a higher amount of time debugging Kotlin issues relative to working with the Java codebase then we've got a problem.

That's a... surprisingly snarky / unhelpful remark with no counter to my statement.
