well, sure, if what you mainly work on is android, then it make sense that kotlin is getting hyped

that being said, for an outsider (i mainly do BI and DB stuff), it seem like xamarin (C# and F#), flutter (Dart), react native (reasonml) .. might seem like the options to investigate first nowadays

i think outside of android development, kotlin .. is not hyped at all

Sure, but Android is one of the top 3 most deployed application environments in the world. It's a pretty big and important market.
