There's a significant chance that the majority of the libraries you will use will be Java libraries.

That means when you Ctrl-Click a third-party method to understand what's happening, you're going to get dropped into Java code.

This being said, Java is dead-simple -- and since JDK 17 with introduction of pattern matching, sealed types, multiline strings, records, and other things, it feels much more like C# or other modern languages than the Java you're likely thinking of.

Kotlin is probably my favorite language though, highly recommend giving it a shot.
