Correction : JavaScript is the weird language people actually use.

Addendum: all script languages are weird.

Correct but somehow some managers decided it is the correct language to base every new technology on... Somehow

I'm glad that at least Rust and Kotlin are getting some mindshare.

Is kotlin though?

On Android it's popular, and some teams use it on backend too.

I haven't seen kotlin used on the backend ever, personally. Of course sample size: 1.

I can see it being more popular on android though indeed

I've seen it once in an investment bank, and the solution didn't even have an Android project. It was just infrastructure for other backend projects.

Good for them! Ive been enjoying Java since start but one day Kotlins blessing has come upon me and its so great. It gives so much Daniel / Cooler Daniel vibes! Wish more companies would prefer Kotlin at least for new projects

I'm in an IB and we use Kotlin for backend services

To be fair, Java on the backend is also getting less common as well. Rust and Go are taking more of the space.

JS also has a huge market share, but I don't have to be happy about it.

Not in finance. Retail banking and most of investment banking runs on Java.
