Dr. Venkat Subramaniam, James Ward, and Josh Long chat informally before their session at Voxxed Days Amsterdam. They discuss Kotlin's elegance and how it synthesizes ideas from Java, Python, Haskell, and other languages. The conversation covers Java's legacy burden and the challenge of evolving a 30-year-old language, the JVM as an innovation platform hosting many languages, virtual threads as a retroactive miracle, and JRuby's 20-year milestone. They preview their upcoming session covering Kotlin fundamentals, Spring integration, and building AI agents with Kotlin and Spring.
