Kotlin is JetBrains only Google has blessed it...

Also compiled languages have longer staying power because if you move on from the language, you can still make use of the binaries but simply never write it again. Look at all the Fortran libs that are still in use by other languages...

Yes and how popular do you think Kotlin would be without Google’s “blessing”?

Kotlin was recognized by Google because it was getting traction, not the other way around. Get your facts straight.
