Facts You May Not Know About Kotlin
summary
Kotlin 1.4 adds trailing commas and a deep recursion helper that uses suspend to avoid stack overflows, Kotlin implements null safety via the Nothing type so functions that never return let the compiler infer nonnull, JVM generics are erased but you can use reified inline functions to preserve type information at call sites, and Kotlin multiplatform compiles the same code to JVM JS and native — demonstrated by a Conway Game of Life running on JVM, Raspberry Pi native and an iPhone using KMM.
