Why not Kotlin as it's arguably closer to Ruby?
- rufugee 5y agoYeah, I would be interested in the logic here. I'd assume Kotlin to be a far more productive language for ex-rubyists than Java. Perhaps it's that they don't believe in the future of Kotlin outside of mobile?
- esprehn 5y agoIn my experience it's usually JVM at these companies, not specifically Java, and certainly in recent years more and more teams use Kotlin for backend services.
- Matthias247 5y agoMaybe Java includes the possibility to use Kotlin? At many teams I know its up to the team to write parts of Java libraries or services within Kotlin since it's mostly an implementation detail. But again - I'm not part of Stripe so I can't talk for them.
