<p>I just wanted to give my 2c from the outside joining the project after this decision was made. New languages and frameworks need champions and adoption to be successful. I think this was identified in the dev call as well with the intention to try it out for a few months to see if the benefits outweighed the costs and overhead.</p>
<p>In the last 3 months, there has been only 1 commit using this new language</p>

commit 26c053dae80006338cb3df2e1ec6618cdcf58ff8
Author: Christoph Sturm <me@christophsturm.com>

    Apply kotlin plugin and convert one unused class to kotlin
    
    just to check that everything works and to show how much simpler
    kotlin code looks.

</code></pre>
<p>So regardless of whether or not it is better from a theoretical point of view, the reality is that other developers aren't utilizing the new language and using it for the benefits that were described. It is a good conversation for a future dev topic call.</p>
