The more interesting part of this article for me is that in 2022, Java is still the number 1 language that new pieces of Android are made out of. It probably has to be this way for compatibility, and I personally have no problem with Java. But the hype train would not have you believe this.

Yup, was quite surprised by this too, I was kind of expecting that most of Java's lunch would have been eaten by Kotlin by now.

Scala hasn't eaten Java's lunch, so how Kotlin could?

Well, only talking about Android here. And Scala is a totally different beast anyway.
