Kotlin (programming language)

Kotlin is a modern programming language developed by JetBrains, designed to be fully interoperable with Java. It simplifies coding for building applications, particularly for Android mobile apps. Kotlin emphasizes clarity and conciseness, reducing boilerplate code, which makes it easier for developers to read and write programs. It also includes features like null safety, which helps prevent common errors in programming. Since being officially supported by Google for Android development in 2017, Kotlin has gained popularity for its efficiency and modern approach, appealing to both new and experienced programmers alike.
