The time needed to create an Android app can be shortened with Kotlin. You won't have to wait as long for your code changes to take effect because Kotlin programs are smaller and compile more quickly than Java ones.

A stack trace is often shown when faults are made in your software. Finding and correcting errors is made simpler by Kotlin's error messages, which are more informative than Java's.

Programming language Kotlin is based on Java. Some of the issues with Java can be resolved with Kotlin. Because of its straightforward syntax, Kotlin is simple to use. The language of Kotlin is also simple, concise, and effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kotlin?

Although there are numerous resources accessible to assist you, they might not be as extensive as those for Java. This may be a drawback if you're just getting started and require additional help.

the thought given to OO coherence, inheritance and the elimination of a huge amount of wieldy syntactic sugar.

What do you dislike about Kotlin?

still betrays its java heritage and sometimes seems a match of scala and java.. not really innovative... in fact just distilled good practices and minimal syntax Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
