I'm honestly curious: i love groovy (and grails) so i would like to know why java devs should prefer kotlin to groovy, since it seems to me that groovy has every good feature and advantage that kotlin has.
- namelezz 11y agoStatic typing is the reason I choose Kotlin over Groovy.
- incepted 11y agoTwo main reasons for me: - static typing (non negotiable) - performance (Kotlin is on par with Java, Groovy is... still very slow, which is especially a big deal on Android)
- vorg 11y agoGroovy is a dynamically typed language, and its "static typing" and Android target has been shafted on as an afterthought. The developer who was paid to do it now works somewhere else, which is hardly a vote of confidence in the implementation.
