It's not in decline imho, it has settled as middle ranking language in terms of popularity and is v popular in its niche. It depends where you are of course but in London it's used in loads of places from major corporations to startups. The market is hot.

I used to contract in London, I still occasionally get info about contracts from recruiters, Kotlin largely replaced Scala, compared to 5 years ago.

Kotlin is growing for sure on the server side. Far from replacing it though.
