Claim: Kotlin and Swift converge on the same language goals — accessibility, expressivity, safety — with concrete features: extensions, fluent collection ops, default parameters and built-in nullability. Cited numbers: ~60% semi‑automatic Java→Kotlin migration and audience usage estimates (90% heard, ~15% used in production). Examples include Exorcism and Advent of Code practice; no big product demo but practical code comparisons show nearly identical developer ergonomics, making cross‑platform skill transfer realistic.
