That's probably more than 30 seconds worth but I hope it was useful. Kotlin makes the programming language simpler & modern while remaining 100% interoperable with the JVM, allowing existing Java libraries to be used.Java ("programming language") is verbose and complex but the JVM ("runtime") is battle-hardened and efficient.Two signature features include its structured concurrency ( coroutines) and ability to share code across targets ( multiplatform).Īndroid is now Kotlin-First making Java the secondary choice for development. Kotlin is one of the fastest growing modern programming languages (alongside Dart and Rust).
built-in concurrency (async operations).So what is a modern programming language? This article explained it best it's one that takes advantage of modern day software development tools, techniques and ecosystems including:Īs a result, it incurs less technical debt (to sustain legacy code) and demonstrates productive characteristics like: Structured Concurrency: Kotlin coroutines make asynchronous code as easy to work with as blocking code. It is also the preferred programming language for Android Kotlin is 100 interoperable with the Java programming language, so you can have as little or as much of Kotlin in your project as you want. server-side development (Java server-side frameworks).mobile cross-platform development (Android + iOS).that is safe, concise and interoperable (with Java).So here goes - a visual guide to Kotlin! Did you scan it in under a minute? I bet you learned something too - I call it a win!
