Kotlin a Great Fit for the Ethereum Ecosystem

on YouTube ↗44m

" summary

Claims Kotlin is already practical across the Ethereum stack: Kotlin powers the Android wallet WallETH and the library KEthereum, and libraries like ipfs-api-kotlin / IPFSDroid connect Android apps to IPFS. Demos include Android-Things IoT dApp experiments, Rinkeby testnet usage for free transactions, and tooling gaps: gas/storage costs remain high, no drop-in Android replacement for BouncyCastle yet, and eWASM is proposed as the path to writing contracts in Kotlin.
