I think Kotlin is slowly eclipsing Java on the JVM. Its not majority yet but most new projects or major refactors I've seen are either 100% Kotlin or majority Kotlin.
I would not be surprised if Kotlin takes a majority share eventually
- pjmlp 3y agoNah, only on ART. No JVM will ever be rewriten in Kotlin for it to matter outside Android.
- RussianCow 3y agoWhy would the JVM need to be rewritten in Kotlin for it to "matter"?
- wiseowise 3y agoKotlin is an official language of Spring, Vert.x, Micronaut, Gradle and IntelliJ platform. What are you talking about?
- alexvitkov 3y agoKotlin is Java with minor syntax changes - it brings nothing new to the table and you write it the exact same way as you would Java. It's an easy sell for shops that want the feeling they're making forward progress in the field of computing but who don't actually want to change anything.
- wiseowise 3y agoThat’s factually wrong. Null-safety alone changes completely how you write Kotlin, add to that coroutines, extension functions and dozen other quality of life improvements and you get completely different style.
