Kotlin development benefits
In 2016, Kotlin was introduced as a more cost-effective and secure alternative to Java. So far, it has gained a solid position among developers, startups, and large companies. And here’s why:
- 40% less code lines
Kotlin is one of the most concise programming languages and allows developers to write more compact and readable code compared to Java. As a result, your firm gets cost-effective apps with faster delivery.
- Great type-safety
Kotlin leaves no room for bugs and errors caused by NullPointerExceptions (NPEs) which often cause huge financial losses. As a result, development time and costs are significantly reduced.
- 100% Java interoperability
Your company can seamlessly switch from the old Java-powered codebase to Kotlin one. The latter can smoothly interact with Java code directly or via an out-of-the-box converter in the IDE environment, and supports all Java classes and libraries.
- Multiplatform support
Around 70% of the code isn’t platform-specific thanks to Kotlin Multiplatform. It provides the opportunity of reusing the codebase between all major mobile and desktop OSes including Android, iOS, Windows, macOs, Linux.
- Full stack development
Kotlin Multiplatform also allows both back and frontend creation. This speeds up the development process, simplifies code support and testing.
- Top-3 programming languages among businesses
Kotlin is used by companies from various industries for projects of any complexity: from MVP to high-load apps with numerous third-party integrations
