Originally it was intended as a commercial feature, but since JDK 11 Oracle open sourced all previously-commercial features in the JDK, and now it's part of OpenJDK. It's already available in JDK 11 and 12.

I never got to the level where I needed anything more than the stock default GC. But this looks compelling. Does Kotlin and other JVM based languages benefit from it, too?

Sure. All languages that run on the Java platform[1] can benefit from it, and from most other Java platform enhancements.

[1]: I prefer saying Java platform rather than JVM, because a program written in Kotlin shares over 90% of its infrastructure code with a program written in Java (not including the OS), and the JVM constitutes only about 20% of that.
