Description of the Talk

Putting Kotlin to the test

Kotlin is one of newest OSS programming languages on the scene. Its purpose is to provide a general industry focused language that can be used for all types of development, and at the same time, fixing some of the common pitfalls of other languages that can end up being very expensive. That’s the idea behind it at least, but does it hold? In this session we're going to find out. We’ll put it to the test by looking at some of the things it brings to the table and whether these truly add value in everyday application development.
