Kotlin is generally considered a bit of a dud in the modern programming language space.
- prophesi 7mo agoIt's a blessing when you're in the native Android / React Native / Flutter space.
- allthetime 7mo agoTrue. Not having to write Java for native modules anymore makes me really happy. Shame they haven’t replaced gradle yet though
- hitekker 7mo agoI reckon this comment from 6 years ago predicts Kotlin's fate https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24197817 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24197817 I consider it prophetic. My gut says Kotlin is great for individual developer experience. But I never heard or saw credible reports on the Total Cost of Ownership, e.g., Kotlin engineers hiring, swapping out on a team.
