"A modern language for many use cases with a growing community"

5/5

What do you like best about Kotlin?

It has a very easy way to write asynchronous functions which gives you more time to focus on developing new features for your application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kotlin?

The lack of a mature UI framework for Web applications (or maybe I just haven't searched enough.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kotlin:

Kotlin is an amazing modern language. If you want to try or learn a new language. Kotlin is my recommendation because it will be a staple in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kotlin solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've been developing Android applications with Kotlin before the official v1.0. The benefits are unanimous, it's a growing community of Kotlin Developers with Kotlin being able to do not only Android but also Multiple Platforms. This results for a one code base for all, especially with the newly released Compose for Desktop. That's something that will grow big in the coming years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Kotlin, Syntactically modern with backward compatibility."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Kotlin?

Features, such as passing the function easily as a parameter, transforming functions, extension functions, null-safe, syntactically strict but with freedom like Any objects, sealed classes are an absolute delight to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kotlin?

In some instances, the developer writes a short statement of code for a particular solution which makes it harder to read for other developers, which we can expect with the freedom and choice Kotlin give to the developer, but developer should always keep in mind that we should always prefer one-liner over readability.
