I've been learning Kotlin recently & I find it to be a beautiful Language. Does anyone at work use Kotlin that isn't an Android developer?

I convinced my Fortune 500 company to allow Kotlin as an option for our dev teams, by pointing out:

It's Java compatible, and easy for Java devs to pick up
No rewrites needed to start using Kotlin
- You could mix and match with Java at any point
It reduces boilerplate code
It reduces overall errors and bugs (improved type safety and null safety)
