Android actually now has some Java 8 feature support out-of-the-box [0] though most are API 24+.

After porting our code base to Kotlin we found it provides more benefits over Java than just being less typing / "syntactic sugar". To name a few:

  - First class functional support (streams feel clunky in comparison).
  - Extension functions [1].
  - Nullable types (compile-time null checking).
  - Less verbose as types declarations are optional in many situations.
  - Great interop & tooling from JetBrains makes a slow transition from Java -> Kotlin pretty seamless.
