Why you should totally switch to Kotlin:

It’s time to start using a modern programming language

I want to tell you about a new programming language called Kotlin and why you should consider it for your next project. I used to prefer Java but the last year I’ve found myself coding Kotlin whenever I could, and at this point I really can’t think of a situation where Java would be a better choice.

It’s developed by JetBrains, and the fact that these are the people behind a suite of IDEs, such as IntelliJ and ReSharper,really shines through in Kotlin. It’s pragmatic and concise, and makes coding a satisfying and efficient experience.

Although Kotlin compiles to both JavaScript and soon machine code, I’ll focus on its prime environment, the JVM.

So here’s a couple of reasons why you should totally switch to Kotlin (in no particular order):

0# Java Interoperability

Kotlin is 100% interoperable with Java.

1# Familiar Syntax

2# String Interpolation

3# Type Inference

4# Smart Casts

5# Intuitive Equals

6# Default Arguments

7# Named Arguments

8# The When Expression

9# Properties

10# The Data Class

11# Operator Overloading

12# Destructuring Declarations

13# Ranges

14# Extension Functions

15# Null Safety

16# Better Lambdas

17# IDE Support
