This page is dedicated for Kotlin Articles & Resources.
Overview
Kotlin is a multi-platform, general purpose high level programming language. It is statically typed and uses type inference. It draws from past programming languages, incorporating useful features as well as avoiding undesirable ones.
From mechanical computers that uses a hand crank, entering binary numbers into computers, tracing bugs in assembly languages, and being frustrated by a missing semicolon. Kotlin builds upon all the lessons learned from past languages. Both the good & the bad, and strives to be better.
It was first introduced in 2011 and released by JetBrains (Kotlin 1.0) in 2016. In 2017, Google began providing support for Kotlin on Android. Then in 2019, Kotlin was recognized by Google as the preferred programming language for Android Development.most of the coding.
