Out of curiosity, how many of you are using Kotlin for backend development? It seems that Java has caught up a bit, and the advantages of Kotlin (extension methods, better syntax, better null-checking) might not be enough to justify the risk of lock- in?
Personally, I quite like Kotlin, but I haven't been able to convince most of my greybeard colleagues to make the leap.
