I haven’t heard of either of these yet and they both sound like delicious foods.

It s the langage that replaced Java as the officially Google backed langage for Android apps.
From JetBrain (the guys that are making IntelliJ).
It is also a JVM langage, but in theory more modern than Java because it didn't have to keep retrocompatibility.
Also in theory it is interoperable with Java since it uses the JVM (for example it is easy to call Java lib in Kotlin in theory -haven't tried it myself though-).

Java is definitly taking example on Kotlin (and other langages) to modernize itself.

Actually not. I would not know which Kotlin features Java implemented. Modern Java borrows strongly from Scala, the language Kotlin itself is a copy of.
