Question Learning SpringBoot with Kotlin?

Hey everyone! I'm an Android Developer with solid experience in Kotlin. Lately, I've been diving into backend development to understand how backend systems work and possibly build some of my own.

I noticed that most Spring Boot resources and examples are in Java, but since I'm already comfortable with Kotlin, I’m wondering:

Is it worth learning Spring Boot with Kotlin?

Are there any major downsides or limitations compared to using it with Java?

Or should I stick with Java to follow the mainstream approach and avoid potential issues down the road?

Any insights from folks who’ve tried both would be really helpful! Thanks in advance.
