Kotlin will never replace Java, unless you are speaking about Android Java.

Of course it won't ever replace it but it has the potential to overtake it.

Maybe when I see the first JVM written in Kotlin I will consider that scenario.

Even considering ART as the KVM, isn't a safe deal, as it is written in a mix of Android Java and C++.

And currently its potential is very tiny when measuring all JVM guest languages against Java, using any recent language report.
