Kotlin is a statically-typed programming language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine and also can be compiled to JavaScript source code or uses the LLVMcompiler infrastructure. Its primary development is from a team of JetBrainsprogrammers based in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Google to introduce in android 3.0 visit http://kotlinlang.org

Kotlin aims to fill that gap of a missing modern language for the Android platform. There are a few core tenets that Kotlin lives by; it strives to be: Concise to reduce the amount of boilerplate code you need to write. Expressive to make your code more readable and understandable. Safe to avoid entire classes of errors such as null pointer exceptions. Versatile for building server-side applications, Android apps or frontend code running in the browser. Interoperable to leverage existing frameworks and libraries of the JVM with 100 percent Java interoperability. Above all, it’s a new language! What could be more exciting? iOS developers can’t have all the fun.

Kotlin try's to solve some problems of Java like null pointer exceptions and bloated code and is fully interoperable with Java. In my opinion it is the cleaner and more advanced version of Java and it looks like Google is thinking it too, so they made it a first class language for Android development. If Java will not evolve faster I think Kotlin will make the race but till then it's a long road. So at the moment better stick to Java if you start learning but if you are a good developer who wants to know what's next definitely check out Kotlin.

When creating native apps for Android, you will normally use the Java programming language for your logic. Whilst Java is a battle hardened language, it isn’t without its issues. When you run a Java application, the app is compiled into a set of instructions called Bytecode and runs in a virtual machine. Over the past several years, a number of new programming languages have been introduced to also run on the Java virtual machine. Whilst the resulting app looks the same for the virtual machine, the idea is the language features can help developers write simpler code and fix some of Javas issues.

JetBrains, known for IntelliJ IDEA (Android Studio is based on IntelliJ), has introduced the Kotlin language. Kotlin is a statically-typed programming language that runs on the JVM. It can also be compiled to JavaScript source code. Kotlin has some amazingly cool features! In this Kotlin for Android tutorial, you’ll learn: How to setup your Kotlin environment. How to work with both Java and Kotlin in the same project. What makes Kotlin so exciting as a new language.

Note: This tutorial assumes you’re experienced in Android development with Java. If you’re new to the Android world, have big questions about the starter project or are not familiar with Android Studio, please have a look at our Android tutorials. Why Kotlin For Android? Since Android took the world by storm, developers have had no alternatives to Java app development. Although its usage is widespread, Java comes with a lot of historical baggage. Java 8 solved some language issues and corrected even more with Java 10. In order to get much of a benefit from the corrections made in these two releases, you have to set the minimum SDK to Android 24 just to use Java 8, which isn’t an option for many developers. For almost everybody, Java 10 isn’t even on the radar.
