Glad to hear about Kotlin Multiplatform. I was getting a little worried about "going all in" career-wise by focusing on cross platform development with React Native. It looks like cross platform development is here to stay!

Glad to hear you are glad to hear about KMP 😄

I love your enthusiasm and want to be sure you understand the cross platform development with React Native is very different than cross platform development with Kotlin Multiplatform.

Yes, cross platform is here to stay. Code sharing has been with us since the first cross-compilers and transpilers that allowed the same code to run on different architectures. Since then, there have been many solutions, some that people still use, some that never gained traction. It's a super interesting space.
