New questions regarding the newest programming language Kotlin, keep arising around us.
Questions like, how did this language come to be, how many app developers have already tried their hands at Kotlin, and is it really worth learning – are making rounds all across the tech community.
An open source programming language, Kotlin is used to generate code which can easily run on Java VM.
Now, Android apps have made extensive use of Java as the basic language of programming, and the incompatibility of Kotlin syntax could have been a problem.
Using aggressive inference so as to know the kind of values and expressions, in case they are not mentioned correctly, is the way Kotlin works.
There were some companies, such as Uber, Pinterest, Atlassian, Netguru, and so on, that started making use of Kotlin even before it has got an official support.
