https://medium.com/@NetflixTechBlog/netflix-oss-and-spring-boot-coming-full-circle-4855947713a0 Not directly Kotlin related but a bug deal because Netflix is adopting Kotlin heavily and this makes Spring Boot more of a de facto standard...

I was wondering the same thing. Spring != Kotlin by any stretch.

I dunno about "heavily" but for the last few years I've been meeting netflix people at conferences who were all about kotlin

If they adopt it, it will make my job easier selling it more widely within my company. And Pivotal is promoting it more and more too. Was at SpringOne Toronto. One presenter used Kotlin in the presentation and the others were moving towards it.

I don't see the context of Kotlin in this blogpost, but according to this talk Netflix does use Kotlin at least (quite?) a bit:

Yep..not in the post...in that video it sounds like they're using it quite a bit
Also this but it's more Android which is not unexpected:

According to the video (

) there were a lot of Netflix teams interested in using Kotlin.

This is good news for us. Even though the article doesn’t mention it, it appears they’re becoming more invested in Kotlin too.
