Funny how experience differs. I think almost all Java teams I know use Kotlin now in some capacity, mostly for new code but sometimes for all code. Not to mention Android is a very large share of applications and Kotlin is the default choice there.

No Java teams at my company have moved to Kotlin. There’s a is a shift of Scala -> Java, I think many people are scared of adopting a guest language again and modern Java with records, switch expressions, and sealed types isn’t bad enough to warrant the risk.

How's that relevant to people moving away from Scala?
