- Kotlin is designed to interoperate fully with Java.
- Kotlin mainly targets the JVM, but also compiles to JavaScript or native code (via LLVM); e.g., for native iOS apps sharing business logic with Android apps.
- On 7 May 2019, Google announced that the Kotlin programming language is now its preferred language for Android app developers.
