This is nice. I don't work in Java but I've studied Java in Sedgewick's Algorithms class. The syntax seemed straightforward and it comes across as a powerful professional-use language.
After reading just now I found that Kotlin is a JVM language and a project developed by JetBrains. For me the notable language feature is the null handling.
Would I be helping or hurting my facility with Java by using Kotlin for personal projects instead of Java?
- kbsletten 9y agoI'm not a full time Java developer, but unless you have a really hard time adjusting to the syntactic differences or will grumble when you do something you know would be "so much easier in X", you should be fine. You'll learn the JVM, APIs, and libraries you'll need to be a Java programmer. That seems like a win to me.
