Further to that point, Kotlin mainly targets the JVM (which can run pretty much everywhere), but also can be compiled to JavaScript, LLVM, and a bunch of other targets.

Honestly the only times I've evaluated Kotlin for personal projects was bc of that flexibility.

recently kotlin can even be used to compile to native and wasm, but gradle makes it almost less usable than swift

With various levels of implementation quality, Kotlin/Native had to be rebooted, on JS it hardly offers anything better than TypeScript, on the JVM it is mostly used by Android shops anyway.
