I believe that according to many developers concision should never take precedence over readability. It takes only a single line of code to write Course DTO object in Kotlin with more transparent and easier to understand.
How will this “Course” object look in Kotlin? For simple objects like for example Course with id, name, capacity, email, schoolName you will have approximately 70+ lines of codes as shown below. If you are writing Data Transfer Objects in Java, your code probably looks like similar to hashCode, equals, toString, getters, setters and constructors. We can save lots of lines of code while working with Kotlin.
As an Android developer, syntax going to be the first thing that comes to my mind. Hmm ok, but what is the differences between Java and Kotlin, and why is Kotlin better than Java?Īccording to the official Kotlin web site you can clearly see what Kotlin has that Java does not ( ). Unlike Java, you can code iOS applications using Kotlin. It is designed by JetBrains teams who created the IntelliJ IDEA, and now you will probably guess that Kotlin is fully compatible with Java of course 🙂 You can use any java libraries in your Kotlin project with clarity, tooling support, safety and interoperability. Basically, it is an object-oriented programming language (like Java 🙂 ) that also allows functional programming. It’s concise, safe, interoperable with Java and other languages, and provides many ways to reuse code between multiple platforms for productive programming.”. But what is Kotlin, why does Google suggest Kotlin as the preferred language? Let’s dig it! What is Kotlin?įor, “Kotlin is a modern but already mature programming language aimed to make developers happier. According to Google, more than 50% of professional Android developers currently use the language to develop apps, and it is the fourth most popular programming language according to the latest Stack Overflow developer survey. Popularity of the Kotlin has increased overwhelmingly in the past two years. At the end of the second quarter of 2019 Google has declared that Kotlin has been preferred as a programming language for Android app developers. Only In 2017, Google officially accepted Kotlin as the second official language for Android app development.
