Kotlin

Kotlin is a statically-typed, cross-platform programming language that serves as the official language for Android development. Developed by JetBrains, Kotlin is designed to eliminate Java’s verbosity while maintaining full interoperability with Java codebases. Beyond Android, Kotlin is widely used for server-side applications, web development, and cross-platform mobile apps with Kotlin Multiplatform.

Key Features:

• Null Safety: Reduces NullPointerExceptions.

• Interoperability with Java: Allows gradual migration.

• Concise & Readable Syntax: Reduces boilerplate code.

• Coroutines for Asynchronous Programming: Simplifies concurrency handling.

• Cross-Platform Development (Kotlin Multiplatform): Supports iOS and web apps.

Best Use Cases:

✔ Native Android applications.
✔ Backend development with Kotlin (Spring Boot).
✔ Cross-platform mobile apps with Kotlin Multiplatform.
✔ High-performance enterprise applications.
