Kotlin is a JVM-based language, and it supports all Java libraries. So, developing backend services using Kotlin also will be trending, as well.
Kotlin is endorsed by Google and this is a huge bonus for this language.
Built on the JVM, Kotlin’s portability gives the language a large scope;
# from mobile development to
# server-side using frameworks like Spring to
# web frontends using compilation JavaScript
Developers love features like null safety, coroutine support and the fact that it supports functional programming languages.
Kotlin is also used in desktop app development
Most google apps like YouTube, Google drive etc are developed using kotlin.

So if you are working on the front-end projects like;
# apps you can use frameworks or libraries like React, Angular and vue.js.
# desktop apps you can use Electron.js,.
# backend projects you can use Node.js.
JavaScript is the key!
Eureka! You can even develop machine learning with Tensorflow.js.
Great right?!
You can also use Javascript in server side development and game development.

If you choose without having a goal in mind, you may end up jumping from one language to the other without making further progress.
1⃣ If your goal is to freelance or get a job in the area of web development, you can pick JavaScript or Python 🐍.
2⃣ If you want to get into data science, or machine learning, you can choose Python🐍.
3⃣ If you want to get into mobile app development, you can choose Kotlin or swift, or JavaScript (React native).
