I prefer to think it's an answer to java/oracle.

I was curious how this fits in to the bad blood between Google and Oracle over java, but the 'reporting' I've read on the usual tech sites appears little more than rehashing the Google press release. Does this help them build a road away from Java entirely eventually? Could Kotlin eventually provide a route away from the JVM, especially this Kotlin native stuff on LLVM?
