Kotlin certainly was the language I was mostly expecting to get recommended, but is there anything specific about it that makes it more suitable for simple mobile projects?
My web experience is limited to some basic javascript for a documentation tool I've made. Other than that my experience is mostly lower level C and python. No direct GUI work.
Multiplatform isn't much of a concern as it will be a cold day in hell before I ever consider buying an apple product.
If you're already really comfortable with C, you could consider Java instead of Kotlin. The syntax is more similar, but Java doesn't have as many features built into the language (and I imagine it'll eventually be phased out anyways). You could try a sample project in each and see which one you prefer.
