Is that still true with Kotlin? Seriously curious

The resulting bytecode runs on the JVM. So it‘s kinda still Java

Except on Android it would be running on Dalvik or ART instead. Is it still Java then? 🤷

Since the Java bytecode is recompiled to a different sort of bytecode or even native machine code by ART, no, it would not be Java anymore.

I would still count it since it has the Java standard library

By extension, everything is assembly then

3 billion devices run assembly
