In general (nothing against Kotlin) I think it probably has to do with the prospect of having to fiddle about and work late with new tech for the same outcome as what you would have gotten with the tried and true tech. At the end of the day, I want to spend my time with my friends and family and not burning the midnight hours on work tasks that could have been avoided.
- hellisothers 4y agoThis resonates but also essentially agrees w/the parent, the youth want to do what you just described for various reasons that benefit the youth, the older peeps didn’t, because of similar motivations.
- Aeolun 4y agoIn my personal experience working with Kotlin saves you half the time on typing alone.
- p1esk 4y agoTyping code is probably less than 5% of my daily time as a SWE.
- abalashov 4y agoWhy is this being downvoted? :-) It's totally true. The actual kinetics of coding from a "typing" perspective is a tiny part of any software engineer's job...
- Aeolun 4y agoThat is probably true, but that 5% is responsible for 50% of the daily frustration. Certainly when working in plain Java.
- smsm42 4y agoIf saving on typing time is the primary goal, APL is the way.
