Whats your opinion????

I only use Java for GreenDAO ever since discovering Kotlin.

More layers? Yes please!

*silently jumps to xamarine*

People who never used java: kotlin
People who actually do stuff on android: java

Never tried Kotlin, so that would be my choice for a personal project.

I want to start on kotlin...but going again from base up and learning new syntax again,im not even sure if its all that diffrent in the end

how to brag yourself as a kotlin dev :

1. make app with java

2. update AS to latest ver.

3. Convert java code to kotlin

4. Fix some !! errors

5. Release (and open source it)

6. Profit

@CozyPlanes lol,thanks for my new business plan!!

More github stars,here I come!

@firewolf welcome to home!

React Native :)

@codesculptor electron! (other devs kills me to death)

please stop. it is not either/or question.

@magicMirror ???

@elonmusk *DucksCanCode silently jumps to death due to image*

@magicMirror thank you for understanding

@arispan Please go read about what kotlin is, and that you could have used it for android in the last 2 years at least.
@DucksCanCode Professional Android dev here. I *have* to understand this.

@magicMirror I dabble in android development and I get it xD

@magicMirror i know exactly what kotlin is, but i just ask a question on devRant to get opinion from other Android developers. Thats it.

Folks who really wanna play with Kotlin, they are directly start implementing Kotlin code along with ur Java codebase. So, to sum up, ur project will have both Java and Kotlin codes. This will easiest way to start playing around it. Once compiled, Android doesn't know whether it's Java or Kotlin origin...

clojure or prolog on jvm

Well it's still Java because Kotlin has compiler written in Java. Both have some benefits and downsides. But personally, Java all the way

@timekeeper Codes? 🙃

@bittersweet you can Google for tutorials. I was reading blogs published by Kotlin and some online tutorials.

Kotlin

@timekeeper I was just poking fun at your use of the word codes.

@Hexwell

Kotlin FTW

I was wary as hell of Kotlin when first introduced. Since the official announcement I went all in to give it a shot. Converting a massive (40+ activity) legacy codebase to it and let me tell you the new stuff is a joy to work on. The cross language support is awesome and every class drops 20% - 70% in size. All future development will be Kotlin for me. Get over the weird syntax and you'll love it.
