Google is investing into Kotlin due to politcs with Oracle, and JetBrains (makers of InteliJ which powers Android Studio) pushing Kotlin everywhere they can.

They even separate Kotlin/Native graphical debugging from InteliJ, so that developers get to shell out for Clion license as well.

The only variant where InteliJ and Clion come together is on Android Studio, thanks to us NDK users being vocal how 3rd class it felt versus Eclipse CDT.

On platforms where developers can make use of standard Java there is less pressure to adotpt alternative JVM languages.

Just like F# will always be a shadow of C#, never getting to play with all toys, with C# slowly picking up all features that matter.
