"Kotlin is now the recommended programming language for server-side JVM usage at Google, set to replace Java while still providing access to a large existing Java ecosystem."

Still upset over the Oracle lawsuit, huh?

    isn't it more like "NIH" syndrome? you still get to keep your cake and eat it too with kotlin.

      Kotlin also wasn’t invented at Google.

        Maybe "not invented at oracle" then?

          I have no actual knowledge, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the strategy for Android and then people just realized that Kotlin had productivity and correctness benefits so they decided to support it for server development too.
