I've been learning Kotlin recently & I find it to be a beautiful Language. Does anyone at work use Kotlin that isn't an Android developer?

Yes, I write SpringBoot microservices and IntelliJ plugins using Kotlin. Any new code is Kotlin, but there is still a ton of Java, which I don't consider "legacy", since it works, and if I can sanely add Kotlin when necessary, I don't see the need for "full rewrite".

You may get more traction by asking the Kotlin community

Legacy code is just code inherited from developers that are no longer around. It's quality has nothing to do with its age.

the developers don't have to of left the team to make it legacy code
