I think you're on to something here. When recruiters contact me about Java jobs, I tell them my level of interest in a Java job is about as high as RPG or COBOL, and that I'm wary of spending time on a "legacy" technology. Most of them are fairly understanding of that sentiment, too.

If I had someone call me about Kotlin, I would assume the people hiring are more interested in the future than being stuck in the past.
