Kotlin
The modern language of Android apps, and increasingly a backend language on the Java platform.

Google made Kotlin the preferred Android language in 2019, so recent Android work is Kotlin work. Kotlin also runs everywhere Java runs, and some backend teams use it as a cleaner Java. The repositories show which kind of Kotlin developer you have: Android projects or server projects.
