I wouldn't lump Kotlin in with some of the other less-popular there, if a place is already all-in on Java then Kotlin is a natural next step and can be adopted incrementally with 0 technical issues.

If it's an issue with existing devs refusing to skill up, they can just write their ancient antiquated Java until they retire, it'll still work just fine alongside the new Kotlin code. But in my experience it's rare that even the most institutuonalised Java dev doesn't appreciate the nullability support at least.
