Challenger Language Series - Kotlin | AND Elevenses

For over 20 years, JavaScript, Java and C# have topped the lists of most popular programming languages but we love learning about what else is out there.
What alternatives are available to us, and what kind of ecosystems could we use them in? Should we be considering using them… or not?
In this first part of a five-part series, we looked at Kotlin. Advertised as a replacement for Java, is it truly what it is hyped up to be? Or is it another language that is being raved about currently that will die in a few years time? Is it just for mobile development or can it be used in other ways?
This session covers:
- A brief history of Kotlin
- Kotlin’s use cases
- Features of the language
- A live demo
- Is it worth looking into?
