ReactNative isn’t exactly native, and the patent situation isn’t ideal either.
Kotlin is a language that is like a "better Java", just like C# is a better Java.
It happens to provide extension methods, it allows easy creation of domain specific languages, it fixes the Billion Dollar Mistake (no more problems with null!), etc. It’s basically Java, without all the boilerplate, and a lot more modern.
Which means any Android dev can easily use it, and be more productive, and create less bugs.
