The Google question really can't be ignored, to the point where "Should I use Java or Kotlin on Android?" and "Should I use Java or Kotlin for <any other use of the JVM>?" are two totally different questions.

I agree. Using Kotlin with Spring Boot and Micronaut are no-brainers for me. The Kotlin support for both projects is fantastic. I do feel that if Google pulled the plug and started putting their emphasis on DartVM for Android projects (or something like that), we'd see a reduction in Kotlin adoption in other areas though.

  FWIW, Dart and Kotlin are being pushed by two completely different parts of Google. It's safe to say that Kotlin is the future on Android.

    I don't see how it's "safe to say" anything about Google's future plans in an area like this. They can and will change their mind on a whim.

    It is safe to say something else is currently being developed/released that will add more confusion.
