I agree and am also disappointed. On the other hand, I really don't miss Swift outside of iOS because of Rust and Kotlin.

I wonder if Kotlin is too far from "arms length" from the low level details in your mind? Because other than that, I actually prefer the language over Swift, generally.

Kotlin is one of the very few languages to have a compiler plugin API, this allows Facebook researchers to make it auto-differentiable on demand https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25128251

Agreed. Thomas Nield has some interesting talks and libraries available for doing data science work in Kotlin.
