That sounds great, but is Kotlin really the only current implementation?

If you want a working implementation (see comment below) and not a reference for the parser, you could use Apache Calcite:

https://calcite.apache.org/

But again, yeah it's a JVM thing so your options are that.

It amazes how everyone likes to hate on JVM and yet nearly every enterprise company uses it in the big data space....

Everyone likes to hate on COBOL, and plenty of enterprises use it in all kinds of spaces, too.

The communication gap between Businesses using COBOL and Academic institutions teaching IT is the reason for the hatred for the language among young computer graduates. Whether you love or not you live with and support your family, so teach the youngsters to love COBOL, for their grandmother is not going to die any sooner!
