In my previous job, we had a mid-sized team of ~34 software engineers and Kotlin worked like a charm. We set common standards and practices early on and it paid off. The lone wolves will exist regardless of the programming language. I've seen them in different flavors: Ruby, Elixir, PHP, JS, Python, Perl, Java, Kotlin, and etecetera throughout my career. It's a matter of team dynamics.

Anyway, I'm not a Kotlin die-hard but I found it quite fun to code in the language. IMHO, it has a gentle learning curve and the community has plenty of great libraries (e.g., Ktor, Koin).

Nevertheless, I think I leaned too much on using the syntactic sugar of the language when writing the docs and the introductory article. But by no means users are bound to this way of coding.
