What is Kotlin?

Kotlin is a statically-typed open-source programming language. It was developed by Jet Brains. 

Kotlin is great fit for developing Android applications, Server side applications, for java script and for Native development.

Kotlin is free. It is developed under the Apache 2.0 license and source code is available on GitHub.

Kotlin is an officially supported language for developing Android apps, along with Java. Google announced support for Kotlin in Android at Google I/O 2017.

Kotlin is supported by all major Java IDEs including IntelliJ IDEA, Android Studio, Eclipse and NetBeans.

Kotlin has both object-oriented and functional constructs. You can use it in both OO and FP styles, or mix elements of the two.

With first-class support for features such as higher-order functions, function types and lambdas, Kotlin is a great choice if you’re doing or exploring functional programming.
