It was a big mistake by Google to base the Android Framework entirely on Java. Pivoting to Kotlin because you've discovered that working in Java produces nothing but garbage does nothing to fix the situation either.
Can't wait for generic Linux phones to be a (more popular) thing so we won't have to deal with this clown world nonsense anymore.
I had to learn kotlin to code Jerboa, and while it's better than java or javascript by miles, it still doesn't come close to rust. Android studio is especially terrible, and it crashes my dedicated server pretty frequently.
I use IntelliJ for web development (switched from a Java based team to web based) and I don't really notice any problems. Even with VSC and VS running simultaneously.
I don't remember how it was in my previous team as I've walled of those memories and experiences for mental health.
I had to get an extra 32GB of RAM for my computer for my mobile development class, now Im stuck at 35% usage at most with 48GB... At least is was just like 90$. Better than my PC freezing every 5 minutes
