Kotlin is a modern programming language for the JVM, actively developed by JetBrains, and officially supported as a first-class language for Android development by Google. It is a powerful language that present various solution to different problems faced by Android developers. Kotlin is among the most sought-after open source programming language which specifically targets for JVM or Java Virtual Machines. It assists in streamlining the process of Android development in quite effective as well as efficient way.
Advantages of Kotlin
As a language, Kotlin is similar to Java in structure as it is also object-oriented and statically typed. However, Kotlin has a lot of cool new features, well-designed ideas, clearer syntax, and other enhancements over Java.
Easy Migration
Kotlin is fully interoperable with Java, enabling developers to use Kotlin code with Java and vice-versa. It is crucial for migrating large software projects built in Java to Kotlin in small steps and allows developers to access the Java libraries from Kotlin smoothly.
More Concise
Kotlin is more concise than Java language, it solves the same problem with comparatively fewer lines of code. It improves code readability and maintainability, means developers can read, write, and change the code efficiently and more effectively.
Kotlin Is Safer
Kotlin is safer than Java because it prevents common mistakes done by developers, resulting in fewer app crashes and system failures. Unlike Java, Kotlin explicitly suggests that developers figure out the potential problems that can occur with their code, ensuring more robust code at first go.
Speeds Up Development Tasks
Kotlin offers an immense number of handy features that can help developers to facilitate development tasks. These include extension functions, object declaration, default parameter values, and many more. All these features help developers speed up development time and keep the code base maintainable simultaneously.
Reduces Errors In The Code
Kotlin compiler goes for fail-fast whenever possible. It facilitates searching for errors and even tries to prevent them. Kotlin compiler performs checks, avoids runtime errors, and helps in reducing effort and cost of error fixes.
The CodeBase Increases In Quality
Kotlin has reduced the technical debt to some extent.
“Technical debt” or code debt is a concept in a development process that reflects the cost of additional work caused by preferring an easy solution rather than a better approach that would delay meeting the deadline.
Developers Are Improving Their Expertise
It is easy for the existing Java developers to learn Kotlin without investing much time in it. Initially, Kotlin developers thought that the code same as Java code, but after working with it they understood why Kotlin is safer and more concise, and why it is worth the time to invest in this upcoming language.
