Kotlin for C# Developers
summary
Kotlin 1.3 is compared line-for-line with C# features: null-safe types replace C# 8 nullable references, data classes give automatic equals/copy/hash, and coroutines provide structured async launched with GlobalScope.launch versus C# async/await and upcoming async streams. Demos contrast a Kotlin Android app with a Xamarin.Android C# app, showing companion objects for static members, concise extension functions, and JVM/JS/native compilation. Tooling notes: IntelliJ/Android Studio for Kotlin, Visual Studio/VS Code/Rider for C#. .NET 5 promises Java/Swift interop.
