Is Kotlin right for you?

on YouTube ↗11m

" summary

Kotlin is a pragmatic JVM language that claims to eliminate whole classes of defects by design, most notably null safety via safe-call and Elvis operators, and to cut boilerplate with data class declarations and extension functions. It remains fully interoperable with Java and Spring, targets Java 6/8 plus JavaScript and native (iOS in beta), and already appears in 25% of the top 1000 apps. Community size (~20k Slack) and Apache 2 license make adoption and contribution straightforward.
