The elegance of Kotlin
summary
Kotlin claims a pragmatic, Java-compatible improvement and demonstrates it by replacing verbose Android getText setText plumbing with an extension property for TextView plus synthetic view bindings from the IDE so a single utility encodes parsing and formatting and the postfix ++ works through the getter and setter. The demo uses IntelliJ tooling, Kotlin stdlib features like smart casts, Elvis, delegates and data classes, and points to kotlinx.coroutines and Kotlin/JS and Kotlin/Native for multiplatform reuse.
