One of a few possible explanations: they are mobile app devs who simply want to get things done, instead of hacking the toolchain (including myself).
Sure I'd love be able to write Android apps in Haskell. What's the easiest way to do it?
With Kotlin, it's already nicely packaged in Android Studio. Very convenient.
- whateveracct 6y agoI figure in the next 5 years I'll hack the toolchain once and for all. Probably for game distribution. It's a fixed cost is all. To each their own. I do appreciate the tooling around Kotlin. Definitely wish we had more time and money available in Haskell to match it. Still doesn't explain enterprise use of Kotlin on the backend lol.
