<p>I am super late to the project and <strong>feel free to ignore my suggestions</strong>.</p>
<p>That being said: <strong>Kotlin is great</strong>. And yet I suggest <strong>against</strong> converting to Kotlin.</p>
<p>By converting to Kotlin we expect newcomers to understand <strong>both</strong> Java <strong>and</strong> Kotlin.</p>
<p>Bisq is already a very demanding project: Java 10/12, JavaFx, advanced Bitcoin, security, p2p / Tor / anonymity, cryptography, "decentralized UX", and what not.</p>
<p>Even for advanced Java programmers, not everyone is keen to learn Kotlin. Now, if we also intend to attract experienced programmers in general (say Bitcoin experts knowing C# or Python who can pick up Java) - that is even worse.</p>
<p>To sum up: Kotlin is great but please do not further increase project complexity by requiring two languages.</p>
