That will only happen when Android Frameworks and lower level stack gets rewriten in Kotlin.

No mention of Kotlin in Treble documentation, only Java and C++.

It is like hoping UNIX derivatives will use anything other than C on their kernels.

AOSP commit messages show initial support for Java 9 and their clamp down in reflection for private APIs done in Android P seems to be a step towards Java modules.

I see an easier path just rebooting everything with Fuchsia than having them rewriting Android in Kotlin.
