Kotlin was chosen by Google as the recommended language for Android development. But it can do a lot more, whatever Java can do and sometimes even better. I recommend watching this video, basically it explains what Java might look like 3 years in the future and most of those cool features are already available in Kotlin... https://youtu.be/te3OU9fxC8U

Most general purpose languages can do anything and everything any other language can do. However, the more important part is how easy it is to do it. I find Kotlin easier than C++ and Java to code. It can run native so can be faster than Java similar to C++. But, Python has libraries for many things no other language provides so to quickly code and test a concept, I would use Python first. I would follow up by recoding in native Kotlin to get the speed of running. However, I would need to implement whatever Python libraries I used that do not exist elsewhere.

Not totally but Kotlin runs on JRE and MUST be close to Java. I would call it Java for OOP hater. ...like me
