They are slowly moving to Dart, but the lions share is still Java. My guess is that they are trying to get away from the reach of Oracle lawyers.

  Tell that to the Android team busy replicating Flutter in Kotlin.

    Pardon my faux pax. The point was that the move is away from Java, whether Dart or Kotlin.

      Waiting for them to rewrite Android Studio in Kotlin and the complete Android infrastructure that depends on OpenJDK for the emulator and AOSP builds.

        https://www.jetbrains.org/intellij/sdk/docs/intro/intellij_platform.html https://www.jetbrains.org/intellij/sdk/docs/intro/intellij_p... > The IntelliJ Platform is a JVM application, written mostly in Java and Kotlin Pretty sure Kotlin was birthed to address issues they ran into while developing IntelliJ Android Studio is built on Intellij.
