Is there anything especially good that's strongly typed? Spark is fine, but I'm one of 5 people I've ever encountered who's actually using the typed dataset APIs or leaning into type safety as a feature, and doing so puts me at odds with basically every book anyone learning Spark is likely to read.
I'm already writing Scala, Kotlin feels like it'd be a lateral or even negative move. 😄 I'd be curious to see what some nontrivial Spark in Kotlin looks like, though.

Python is strongly typed. It's also dynamically typed
That's different than weak typing
The qualifier "especially good" excludes Python. Static typing would be preferred, but not required.
I really like kotlin

Yeah, I don't think you'd have much to gain moving to kotlin
