Getting Caught up with Kotlin
summary
Kotlin specifics covered: nullability in the type system, var/val semantics, by lazy delegates for deferred initialization, extension functions and extension by delegation to wrap collections without reimplementing methods. Coroutines demo shows massive concurrency — 10,000 jobs finish quickly and a stress run completes 1,000,000 coroutines in 602 ms. Shows Ktor DSL for HTTP routing and HTML, Quarkus integration for JVM services, jbang scripts and Kotlin Multiplatform/desktop Compose as practical, working examples.
