But for a beginner, it’s a great guideline. I don’t really use this feature often, as I like having to figure out myself what could it look like, to learn more ways of doing things than one. Yeah all the features above sound pretty decent, and one might think, okay, but how will this affect my legacy code, or current state of a newly started project? You don’t have to worry a single bit, Kotlin and Java are 100% interoperable, meaning you can have any percentage of code written in Kotlin, and the rest in Java, and it will all just work together!Įven better, there is a tool in AS that allows you to instantly “translate” Java into Kotlin, which works quite well most of the time, so you can have a glimpse into what does a method in Java look like in Kotlin. Well, Kotlin has all the features of modern languages you’d want! Kotlin has a safe Nullability system, Lambdas and Method references for clean connections between parts of your App, a built in Mutability/Immutability property system, a clean and easy to use Stream operators(filter, map, reduce.), to improve your development life and productivity! 🚀 1.

Having Java integrated in your work life is a good thing, but more than often you look at a problem, stop for a second to think to yourself : “Is this really the best way I can do it in Java?”. If, however, you’re not that familiar with Kotlin (and why not?), I’ll try to sum up why it could push the future in a whole different direction! All aboard the hype train! 0.
