I wanted to learn how to make an android app and it seems to be pushing to use Kotlin (official tutorial). I thought I was going to use Java (that I know). So I'm a little lost.
Is it really better with Kotlin than Java? Is it a good investment to learn Kotlin?

I just want to be able to make android app for myself and maybe it could drive me somewhere at some point professionnally. I have a web dev formation.

Just go ahead with the tutorial. Kotlin is basically identical to Java with only tiny changes, and you can just look those up whenever you see something new.

Nice, if it's not too much changes then I shouldn't be very lost.
