Will be any movement to standarize the language (ISO) or making a committee with other partners (Google, Oracle, Red Hat, etc.)? As I see it, Kotlin language is the best option for general purpose programming over the JVM (well, not only the JVM) And I don't miss features in the language itself. Instead, If it is supported by more companies, the developers/companies adoption will be faster, what do you think?

I think currently Kotlin still profits from having a single lead. Decisions can be made faster, which speeds up development of the language. I'd say let Kotlin develop and maybe consider this in the future.

Design by committee isn't something that I really look forward to. "What's the benefit"? Java, c++ both showed they couldn't keep up or make poor decisions. Kotlin has the KEEP process and we can see how that goes

For the developers is good as it is, but companies prefer a slower platform but more stable. The adoption on the companies would bring more tools and projects to the Kotlin world

I feel KEEP was a bit abandoned recently. Maybe because the team focused on other things.
