@acf if you are new to #Kotlin, I think you are going to like Kotlin. It's probably my favourite language to do Actual Programming in. It seems to fit in my head the best.

I can get Go to do the things I want but it seems more 'clunky'. And Python is great but I do miss the static typing (and the Kotlin IDE support is nuts, of course).

I haven't tried any of the Apple languages so you are coming from a different vantage point, but I think you are going to enjoy it.
