Hi Paul,

As I told you offline I am quite busy at the moment to help you with this
directly.

But if you look at Eglot's homepage you'll see that you need an entry in
`eglot-server-programs` variable.
That entry should associate a major mode with a program (the executable).
So you need a `kotlin-mode`
major mode.  Emacs doesn't come with one but you can probably get one
somewhere.  Also, earlier I
linked to an issue describing how someone got Eglot working with Kotlin
using this simple technique.
Maybe searching Eglot's bug tracker for "Kotlin" will bring you to that
issue.

Hope this helps
João
