Android Officially Supports Kotlin Programming Language

Google I/O 2017 turned out to be a lot better than anticipated. It was a delight not just for the users but also for the developers due to the many exciting announcements made. The news about Android Go, Android O Beta, a new and improved Google Assistant and lots more are in store for us from Google this year. But if there is one announcement that developers cheered the most, it is the news of Android now officially supporting Kotlin. If you have already programmed in Kotlin, you would understand better the reason for all the excitement. If you are still with Java, now would be a great time to try out Kotlin. Java is definitely not bad, and it is definitely not something that can be easily replaced. But there are numerous benefits that Kotlin delivers that make it a favorite choice for several developers.

It has been just over six years when JetBrains introduced Kotlin. But it has been widely recognized and implemented due to the many benefits it offers. Kotlin was not crafted to replace Java. It was only made to make Java better and to tackle its limitations. Drawing bits and pieces from other JVM languages came this brief and easy to adopt language which developers all over the world soon fell in love with.
