About the technology

Kotlin is a low-hassle, high-productivity programming language flexible enough to handle any web, mobile, cloud, and enterprise application. Java developers will appreciate the simple syntax, intuitive type system, excellent tooling, and support for functional-style programming. Plus, since Kotlin runs on the JVM, it integrates seamlessly with existing Java code, libraries, and frameworks, including Spring and Android.
