Kotlin is gaining a lot of traction as the preferred language for app development on Android. Judgding by the buzz in the Android development community/ conference talks. Although it was blessed with "first class citizen" status only in Google IO 2017 by Google, it has been available as an option in Android Studio for a while now.
Developers are already using it in production apps (Restaurants Brand International is an example of high profile app) and many were considering developing their next app in Kotlin or incorporating Kotlin into existing apps.
