The golden age of Kotlin and its uncertain future

<p>I’ll bet that, at least on the Android, Kotlin has a brighter future than java. Ever since oracle enforced the nuclear war against google java’s days as the preferred language of the platform were numbered. Also seems more expresive and modern than java. The article is biased on my opinion.</p>


<p>Omg! cites like: “Other features in Kotlin, like language syntax and method extensions, are not worth mentioning. Bringing features to the language just to bring features can be quite harmful.” are soooo biased AND wrong and no mention of Android development at all! This is not a good article, it is actually not worth mentioning. Yet I did.</p>
