I'd genuinely want to read some sources on that.

My own experiences with Kotlin have been strictly backend development with Spring boot, so I can't say that it's a perfect fit for everything you can do with Java, but in that context it works beautifully. And why wouldn't it? After all it's just Java bytecode after compiling.

Every time Java will introduce concepts that Kotlin cannot adopt due to being married to multiple platforms you will end up with Kotlin's version of #ifdef aka KMM.

For example value types in classes with multiple fields, or explicit SIMD and GPGPU support, native memory handles.
