It is a language designed for interoperability with Java code, which allows for a gradual migration from Java to Kotlin. The tooling is great and aids usability much. Additionally, picking up the language is very easy if you already know Java, since the syntax and concepts are similar, while still providing a lot of value for developers held back by the bad Java support on Android.
