Some are interested in learning more Kotlin (several on gitter were interested in this). We also need more experience in Kotlin as it comes up in Brave frequently. The only thing I can say about this is that few non-committers contribute directly to the server anyway, and we aren't planning on changing the core library to kotlin. Folks wanting to write tests in Java have plenty of places to do that.
