Kotlin is an open source object-oriented and functional
programming language that's often suggested as an alternative to JavaScript.
Some describe it as a ‘streamlined’ version of Java. Various aspects of
Kotlin distinguish it from traditional Java, while much of the core
functionality remains the same across the board – items distinguishing the use
of Kotlin include a relaxed requirement that functions be class members, as
well as support for higher-order functions, anonymous functions and other types
of constructs.
Experts
contend that Kotlin preserves most of the object-oriented nature of Java, for
example, with simple inference from a named superclass. There are also
additional safeguards against null pointer references and problems with null
values.
