Anyone hear of plans to bring fully supported Kotlin to Firebase Cloud Functions?

None that I have heard of. Presumably if Firebase Cloud Functions is extended to other platforms (eg JVM) then Google will develop corresponding Kotlin libraries (for Kotlin JVM and/or Kotlin Native), which match the JS ones.
Kotlin is already officially supported by GCP so that removes many barriers already. My guess is that Kotlin for Serverless development will likely start on the Kotlin Native side once a major vendor/technology provides official support. It is only a matter of time .

Just use Kotlin JS for firebase cloud functions it works, what kind official support do you need? Some idiomatic wrapper?

So, despite the language and docker container systems being added to GCP cloud functions. Firebase Cloud Functions doesn’t have plans to change what they support, or at least, that is what I was told a week or so ago.
