about the subject

Kotlin is a modern programming language for the JVM developed by Jetbrains, the makers of the IntelliJ IDE. Besides Java, Kotlin is the only officially supported language for Android development. Fully interoperable with Java, Kotlin boasts a number of enhancements Java just doesn’t have. Say goodbye to repetitive boilerplate and null pointer exceptions and write code that’s expressive, understandable, and safe! What’s more, Kotlin allows for immutable and non-nullable variables, and you’ll be writing less code with fewer classes. Compared to other JVM languages, Kotlin is an easy transition for Java developers. And a smart one!
