What is Kotlin and why should you care?
Kotlin is a general-purpose statically-typed programming language for Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The language is compiled in Java 6/8 bytecode, but can also be compiled into JavaScript and into native code.
In May 2017, Google announced that it will now start supporting Kotlin in a new programming language for Android development.
Developed by JetBrains, Kotlin is a general-purpose programming language, compiled for Java Virtual Machine Byte Code.
Most Android app developers are opting for Kotlin development today because it is accurate in writing, comes with great IDE (integrated development environment) and the most amazing part can be adopted in an existing Java code.
Being an open source language helps not only in the development of Kotlin, but also supports core products developed in Kotlin.
If you rent a Kotlin developer, then he can start implementing Kotlin in his existing Java project, because you can keep them in the same project.
Write less and hassle-free coding
