Kotlin: The "New" Kid on The Block!
summary
Kotlin claims production readiness: Google formalizes Android support at I/O 2017 and Kotlin 1.0 ships the year before; teams report fast migration (Basecamp ~100% in ~2 months) and 99 runs Kotlin in production for over a year with 69% of the passenger app and about 52% of the driver app written in Kotlin. Language specifics: JVM/JS targets, Kotlin/Native preview, Java interoperability, null‑safety, data classes, extension functions, infix notation, when and Elvis operators. Examples include real 99 app code, CI/CD integration, and companies like Pinterest, Uber, Evernote and Nubank using it.
