"Kotlin, Syntactically modern with backward compatibility."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Kotlin?

Features, such as passing the function easily as a parameter, transforming functions, extension functions, null-safe, syntactically strict but with freedom like Any objects, sealed classes are an absolute delight to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kotlin?

In some instances, the developer writes a short statement of code for a particular solution which makes it harder to read for other developers, which we can expect with the freedom and choice Kotlin give to the developer, but developer should always keep in mind that we should always prefer one-liner over readability.

"I recommend you to use kotlin."

The fact that it is a null-safe by default makes it the best. Simple coding and easy to learn. Makes you reduce the number of lines than expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything is great about it. Only that it needs to be exposed to more developers is the only flaw. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Concise, versatile and powerful, made Android development significantly easier"

5/5

What do you like best about Kotlin?

Less boilerplate code, lots of stuff generated under the hood, clean and short syntax, null checks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kotlin?

No glaring disadvantages in the language itself, but the documentation is too complex with many math oriented examples. The docs could really use some simpler examples for the things they're trying to explain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
