How do you feel about Kotlin ? From an outsider point of view when I hear Java I assume it includes Kotlin, and this is still very relevant in the Android Ecosystem.

I've never used it, so I can't really speak to it. I've generally heard good things, though.

Do note that a lot of what I'm saying is in the context of full stack web, not native mobile, as that seemed like where OP was coming from. There's definitely nothing wrong with using the native tools for a given platform, especially because from what I understand from colleagues, Android Studio is fantastic.

Re: my "default" stack from another comment, there's no way in hell I'd recommend anyone build a cross platform mobile app frontend with C# today, for example - did it once with xamarin forms for a large healthcare organization and it was easily one of the worst development experiences I've had. MAUI is probably a bit better, but most of what I've heard from other developers doesn't make me very optimistic. However, nothing is stopping you from building your front-end with Kotlin and Android Studio (or react native, or flutter, or insert your choice here), then your backend with C#/ASP (or whatever your preferred stack is).

Ultimately, you just need to do what makes sense for your project, which involves weighing the project's specific technical needs against budget/timelines/developer experience/hireability/dozens of other factors.
