 Description   

The next major language version after Kotlin 1.9 will be Kotlin 2.0. This will include the K2 compiler, a rewrite of the Kotlin compiler optimized for speed, parallelism, and unification (will also allow for new language features).

More details here: https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2023/02/k2-kotlin-2-0/

We should ensure that the Kotlin driver supports this latest version of Kotlin.

Looks like major versions of the language are released every 6-8 months, if the pattern of 1.6 - 1.8 is to be trusted. I think we should consider this at the earliest in late FY24Q3 with the release of 1.9.
