# Abstract

Kotlin allows developers to accomplish more with less code, making code more maintainable by being safer, easier to read, and easier to test. The spotlight often seems to be mostly on Android, where over 50% of developers are currently using it in their projects, but use of Kotlin is growing in a range of other applications as well. Kotlin's ability to interoperate with Java, compile natively on most architectures, and even transpile into Javascript mean this relatively new language has a lot of still unrealized potential.
