I know this probably falls into the category of red-baiting hysteria, but sometimes I've wondered (not seriously, in more of a spy-vs-spy, campy, tinfoil hat way) if the Kotlin programming language is a secret plot by the Russian government to embed backdoors in everything compiled with it. How many people have done a deep inspection of the compiled product?
(Insert balloon boy meme of the conspiracy theory guy at his bulletin board)
Of course, the Russians would probably be justified in wondering the same thing about a programming language created in the United States.
- Vizdun 4y agois the only reason for this wondering the fact Kotlin was made by czech developers?
- mosburger 4y agoI thought a lot of it was developed at JetBrains' (now shuttered) St. Petersburg R&D site? Could be wrong, though.
