It seems that Kotlin will be officially presented as next language for Android. IDEA and Android Studio will receive built-in full support for Kotlin in nearest future. I write some parts of Telegram app in Kotlin. Pretty good after plain java. I can't rely on it in production yet (used in build chain). My feelings that React Native + Kotlin could be awesome combination.

  Just rumours. I hear that Kotlin will be preinstalled in nearest versions of Android Studio. For google Kotlin can be very good language: it designed to compile to javascript, so you can write code for Android and Web in one language. Also JetBrains developing (not a surprise) Android Studio for Google. JetBrains is most qualified company for building Java-based language.

    Are you referring to Android Studio or IntelliJ IDEA? We will be shipping Kotlin bundled in IntelliJ IDEA 15. Regarding Android Studio, we don't develop Android Studio for Google. Google does. We develop IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition, which is the base on which Android Studio is built.
