You got it wrong here bro!!! You said Java is easy to go if you run into bugs while Kotlin has made it easier to reduce running into bugs especially it null safety writing boilerplate lesser code unlike Java that is too verbose which tends to make developer run into bugs no matter his/her experience writing code.
In Kotlin you may write 5 codes of lines to print out while in Java it could be 30 codes of lines of the same thing.
This is what Kotlin has reduced and it shines here.

If you run into bugs in kotlin with large code base how do you handle it? Do you have such community with great experience to help you? If you have such community, they are majorly experienced Java devs who migrated to kotlin using the knowledge of Java.

Jetbrain, creator of kotlin don't even joke with Java and Python, yet they have kotlin. Remember Java is evolving. Type inference you have in kotlin is now in Java, many features coming in java 17 that will wow many devs. Talk of boilerplates code, java now have Lombok that handles that. Less experience dev talk ill of java.

See language as a tool.

Alright
Thanks boss.
Am using MacBook Air, 4GB

I hope am good to go Boss

Very good!! Go to YouTube to Download some Kotlin videos tutorial not those of Indians cos you will hardly hear what they are saying.
Within 5 - 6 months you should have understand Kotlin Basics
By the way, you even have MacOS Laptop. All Good!! an edge for you to create App that can run on IOS, MacOS, TVOS and Android phone using Kotlin KMM platform

Well my fellow developer, I wouldn't further go into any argument with you but I want you to know that Kotlin is growing massively and the support is beautifully huge!!

I am tired of reading.is what I know enough to achieve the sort of site I want. thanks.

Google is massively supporting Kotlin by providing developers especially beginners so many documentations to jumpstart your Android development.
Kotlin is also a multi platform language that can also be use to build an IOS, MacOS, TVOS application through Kotlin KMM and web Application through Ktor or Desktop Application through TornadoFX.
Recently, I think It's gaining more users and popular than Java
Knowing one language and build for many platforms. That is incredible!!

didn't know KOTLIN was also used for cross-platform development. I've learned something new today. Thanks
