I think Kotlin will see a nice rise in adoption, as the refactoring seems big enough to warrant moving to a language that embraces certain semantics and remove some magic.

I'm speculating though.

Kotlin, IMO, is experiencing the Ruby on rails effect. It's getting strongly associated with android development which has somewhat stifled general uptake of the language.

Java has been slowly adding the best kotlin features (such as data classes, records) which also makes it a bit harder to sell.

That said, I've introduced kotlin on a few teams and pretty much everyone that's worked with it has complimented it.
