We saw that on the JVM platform, Kotlin is neat and quite superior. However, Kotlin has set its eyes beyond the JVM. Its strategy is to win based on its superior and modern feature set.
Before we go ahead, let's list the top five appeals of Kotlin:
- Static typing (like in C or Java) means that there is built-in type safety. The compiler catches any incorrect type assignments. This makes programs robust.
- Kotlin is concise and expressive. Being concise implies that there is less to read and maintain. Being expressive implies better maintainability.
- Being a JVM language, the Kotlin programs can take advantage of the features built into the JVM, such as its cross-platform nature, memory management, high performance ...
