does kotlin do anything to make it a language instead of a slang?

i used it and liked it but all i see is sugar over java. to me kotlin is to java like coffeescript is to javascript except its good. there were no new concepts in kotlin iirc.

to give one example, it has declaration-site variance for generics instead of java's wildcards, which allows for more programs to be typed. in general the type system is well thought out and designed by people who knew what they were doing

this is compile time tho, right?
