@10Dev kotlin is the adopted language for Android (taking over from java as it runs in a jvm) however you can use it pretty much anywhere. There is a web framework for it too.

@10Dev no kotlin was actually developed by jetbrains to overcome their limitations with Java. It can do everything Java can but safer and had things like co-routines. Spring boot (biggest framework in Java land) is also fully in kotlin.
Personally I see no reason in using Java over kotlin for new things. It can be used together as both run on jvm. -
@10Dev kotlin is hybrid, it actually even says on their webpage that web backends are one of the purposes but idk how it compares to PHP in effectiveness

i don't want to write Kotlin or Go or anything other than php or java which I already feel extremely comfortable with.
