Kotlin is gaining momentum outside of Android, which is the only platform that Google helped with. In other areas, like Flutter, Google is actually competing with Kotlin (KMM).

- listenallyall 5y agoYou have poor reading comprehension (in addition to a real hatred for one particular language, which seems unhealthy). I never stated that it was among the most popular languages, just that it was gaining momentum. In 2019, 41% of Kotlin devs claimed to work on web back-ends. In 2020 it was 47%. In 2021 the survey changed wording but "server-side development" had increased to 52% of Kotlin devs. https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/devecosystem-2021/kotlin/ https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/devecosystem-2021/kotlin/
- pjmlp 5y agoAh, a survey from the company whose goal is to sell Kotlin, really conclusive.
- matsemann 5y agoSo Kotlin is already more popular than Scala and now the most used JVM language except Java itself, and is used almost as much as Java 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 combined. Not sure you should be that dismissive..
- pjmlp 5y agoNope, Kotlin is behind Scala on reaching the peek of the adoption curve. Nice play there with the Java version numbers, it is still Java.
