Preferences and Suggestions on when to use Java or Kotlin?
I am not trying to be controversial. Just thinking about writing a plugin for teamcity that seems to be able to use either. I think my work writes them with Kotlin and Gradle which I was leaning towards, but I can imagine Java has a more mature ecosystem.
I haven’t used much of either, I’m not worried about my ability to learn, just want to know if there are situations where you might want to use one over the other. Is this custom plugin one of those situations?

I don't think there is a big advantage over using one or the other, but I personally use Kotlin for gradle dsl (so it's build.gradle.kts not build.gradle which uses groovy) and Java for the actual content
