I work at one of those big tech companies which has a huge number of services in its codebase in Java (you could properly guess the company). We use Kotlin daily for back-end services as a cleaner and more powerful Java, and we've migrated most of our original Java spring/rest projects to be in Kotlin. If you're familiar with Java-based stacks, I think it's fairly trivial to migrate to Kotlin first as a Java substitute before taking advantage of everything Kotlin has to offer, then slowly adopting Kotlin principles.

I am really interested in what company this is. I love kotlin and wish I could switch all of our new java services to kotlin going forward

That's very encouraging to hear. Is your team still using it with Spring (Spring Boot?) or something along those lines? If you were starting a new Kotlin REST server app today, do you think your team would still use that?
