And the massive technical undertaking of making the Android framework work with a none Java interoperable language? Kotlin was already mostly working with Android thanks to a community effort. This announcement just gives it Google's blessing and gives you all the Kotlin tools by default in Android Studio. Going forward they'll likely be working closely with the Kotlin developers, but this was primarily community driven.
