I think this is one of the main reasons that this has not been attempted yet. Maybe the kotlin team will have time for this once the compiler rewrite is done (1.5) but I wouldn’t get my hope up. Also I don’t think this will be a priority.
The other reason why I don’t see this being done in the near future is that I don’t think many people will switch from C# to kotlin. While kotlin may be the better language for a new project it will doubtlessly take quite some time for kotlin interop with C# to be as good as it is with java and I don’t see any people switching before that. Also C# is quite a bit more popular than Java so the number of people that want to switch is likely to be lower.
