"All the updates java needed"
What do you like best about Kotlin?

Null references have long been a notorious source of bugs and crashes in software development. Kotlin addresses this issue head-on with its robust null safety features. Unlike many other programming languages, where null references are the norm, Kotlin makes it clear when a variable can hold a null value and when it cannot. This clarity not only reduces the likelihood of null pointer exceptions but also improves code readability and maintainability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My favorite programming language."
What do you like best about Kotlin?

It is easy to use and makes a difference when developing my Android apps. I also like the seamless way that it integrates with Java. I use it every day. It is easy to start using. I also love the KMP (Kotlin Multiplatform) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kotlin?

The compile speed is slower compared to Java. But it was never an issue to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Kotlin for Android Development"
What do you like best about Kotlin?

Kotlin is a very concise programming language. It avoids most of the boiler plate code. It is a null safe language. That is, there are many ways to handle null pointer exceptions. It has coroutines for performing multitasking or multithreading to perform long running operations in background and concurrently. It handles the communication between main thread and background threads for us. It has extension functions to extend the functionality of a class without subclassing it. It is interoperable with Java. It has higher order functions which aloows to pass functions as arguments or parameters in functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kotlin?

Kotlin is good for only Android app development and it cannot be used to develop iOS apps if we consider for Mobile app development. There are not many other drawbacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple, efficient and comprehensive server side programming language running on JVM"
What do you like best about Kotlin?

Kotlin brings many of Java advantages (efficient server side, object oriented programming alongside functional programming, etc.) with - at least to my opinion - a clearer syntax.

There are a lot of frameworks supporting Kotlin, and others allow usage due to the fact that Kotlin can be translated to Java bytecode.

I personally really like that it's not required to declare types explicitly on variables, yet the language is still typed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kotlin?

Extention functions are an excellent feature while developing, but sometimes it's hard to debug them.

In addition, sometimes it's hard to find either examples or official (and clear) documentation for server side use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Kotlin for all"
What do you like best about Kotlin?

As we code in JAVA, the length of the code is long, but the size of the kotlin code is small. The main reason why we use Kotlin is that it automatically handles null pointer exception.

Data binding is easier is easy in kotlin.

We can use KMM of Kotlin for multiple platforms to develop mobile apps (Android, IOS). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kotlin?

The compilation process is slow as compared to JAVA in kotlin. The numbers of developers available are less for now, and the community is small on stack overflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing much to dislike but currently android is supporting java as well as kotlin because of that the use of this language is less, but it can be improve if amdroid will support only kotlin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
