Kotlin - Ready for Production
summary
Kotlin comes from JetBrains (started 2010) and hits production use now: released February 2016 after long dogfooding, used in 10+ products and inside IntelliJ with parts rewritten in Kotlin. It compiles to JVM and JavaScript, targets Java 6 compatibility, and powers Gradle scripts and Android work. Key specifics: 900 KB runtime, 20+ developers and 100+ committers, concise data classes that replace dozens of Java boilerplate lines, null-safety with nullable types, and coroutine/Native work on the roadmap.
