Backing by Google has helped, but I honestly think the two main reasons its succeeding are the same two reasons Typescript is succeeding: A "better" language that's "pragmmatic". What i mean is, they both provide the features people want (types, inference, less verbose than Java) and have quality out of the box tooling (because Jetbrains and vs-code). The moment I saw and tested either, I knew they would be a smashing success because they solved the problems people wanted solved, and "just worked".
