> How well does Kotlin perform on Android?
Pretty much as well as Java. No other alternative language comes close on Android.
In my opinion, the only two credible future languages of Android are either Kotlin or Java 8.
- V-2 11y agoSome folks use Groovy (I've attended a talk about it on one of the DroidCons), although the tooling is a bit lacking, and there are some other drawbacks such as long build times.
- vorg 11y agoGroovy for Android isn't being maintained. The programmer maintaining it was retrenched by Pivotal 12 months ago. Groovy's used quite a lot for scripting, but the more recent statically-typed additions for Java and Android aren't being used much and have QA issues.
