ABSTRACT
The #Kotlin programming language is gaining popularity amongst the #Android developer community. It’s a modern language that gives more power in everyday routines. Kotlin code generally looks cleaner and nicer, and it’s much easier to work with when you have less verbosity or code duplication. And this is especially noticeable comparing with the soon-to-be-archaic versions of Java used on Android.

But what’s even more important, is that Kotlin is 100% compatible with all existing Java frameworks, and has good tooling in #AndroidStudio and #IntelliJ IDEA. It’s a pragmatic language with a very low learning curve, and can be quickly grasped by Java developers.

In this talk we’ll discuss the concepts of the language that provide the desired expressiveness, as well as additional goodies designed specifically for Android. [...]

Kotlin is a modern and pragmatic language that can be used for Android development. It offers features like extension functions, lambdas, and the 'with' function, which allows for concise and expressive code. Kotlin also has interoperability with Java, making it easy to mix and use existing Java code. The language uses nullable types to prevent null pointer exceptions, and provides a variety of libraries and tools to enhance the development experience.
