We have been working on Kotlin for more than three years. We have converted multiple Java projects into Kotlin. So, what is Kotlin? Kotlin is a statically typed object-oriented programming language. What is the meaning of statically typed? Kotlin is a Java-based programming language and it runs on a JVM Java virtual machine. As you know JVM helps our application to run on different operating systems and Kotlin is 100% interoperable with Java. The next question is what type of applications I can build using Kotlin? We can build back-end servers, Android, iOS, and browser-related applications. Who created Kotlin? Kotlin was created by JetBrains build Ides using the IDE. It's easy to convert from Java code to Kotlin code. The next important question is why should I learn Kotlin? I had the same question when I started and later realized that it is very concise code. It's very simple and the readability is more. Kotlin helps me to avoid a lot of boilerplate code, meaning I don't have to write much code. It has been automated by Kotlin, and it's very simple and concise.
