One of the biggest advantages of Kotlin is that a Java developer can understand the majority of the code even without having written a line of Kotlin. It is because JetBrains had aimed to make the transition from Java simple, with a language that nearly resembles what you already know. With...
in Kotlinfun main() { println("Hello, world!") } As simple as it is, this example reveals key differences from Java.main is a top-level function; that is, Kotlin functions do not need to be nested within a class. There are no public static modifiers. While Kotlin has visibility ...
Kotlin vs Java. In this article, we provide introduction to Kotlin programming language for Android Development. We used Kotlin instead of Java for Android app and found it a pleasant surprise and an upgrade on Java. Read for Kotlin vs Java. Discuss with
Probably because Kotlin is waaay less popular than Java. Add to that the fact that the vast majority of universities teach Java/Python and not Kotlin, which skews the ratio Java:Kotlin even more in the young demographic. I assume most Kotlin users here are either older (working as SWE) or...

While programmers have in recent years touted other JVM languages as “better” than Java — like Scala, Clojure, and Kotlin — all of these share some sort of foundation in Java anyways. Even if you’re planning to add these new languages to your skillset, learning Java gives you a leg...
In this post on Kotlin’s data classes, we’ll take a look at how data classes are better than regular Java POJO (Plain Old Java Object) classes, and how they make our everyday lives easier. We’ll also take a look at some of the caveats of data classes. ...
It is very improbable that a project of the size, the cost and the complexity of Kotlin was approved by JetBrains because their developers believed that they can make a language which is “better” than Java. In my opinion, the main motivations behind invention and marketing of Kotlin programm...
It's also worth noting that the rise of other languages like Kotlin has given developers more options for web development. While Kotlin has several advantages over Java in terms of syntax and features, it does not make Java obsolete. Java's long history in the web developm...
