I am happy more people is aware of kotlin now, I am not happy the people wasn't aware before. Even when you were pointing them to the goods of the language. But still I trust more JetBrains than Google for programming langues, only because is a company that create tools for programmers, they have more experience.

The suitability of a language for a particular project doesn't just depend on language features.

Most new languages will fade away without ever getting enough traction to survive. It's a real risk that is mitigated by corporate backing.

Many people may have been aware of Kotlin's strengths but found themselves unable to justify its use for a mission critical task.
