Roughly half of the complaints are against Kotlin specific features or hazard of mixing Kotlin with Java libraries - I was curious since I only use Java for Android as well and have not shifted to Kotlin.
- forfengeligfaen 8y agoI've been using Kotlin with Android for over a year. There have been few problems with SDK interoperability. Since I started using Kotlin Google blessed it. The one annoying gotcha was JSON parsing. If the fields on your models are not declared as nullable, they can still be set to null in the JSON which causes a NPE.
- on_and_off 8y agoI have been using kotlin in prod for over a year now on Android (and I already knew the language beforehand). I don't see myself writing full time in java again, ever.
- s73v3r_ 8y agoRight, but because they were able to use Java 10, a good amount of the pain points that Kotlin was intended to address go away. On Android, you're stuck with Java 7 with one or two Java 8 features, so Kotlin helps out a lot more.
