Kotlin

Kotlin is a modern, statically typed, multiplatform language (JVM, JS, Native) from JetBrains, officially preferred by Google for Android development.

Kotlin is a pragmatic, general-purpose programming language developed by JetBrains, designed for conciseness, safety, and full interoperability with Java (it compiles to JVM bytecode). A key feature is its robust null-safety system, which eliminates NullPointerExceptions at compile time, boosting code reliability. Adopted by Google as the preferred language for Android, Kotlin is also heavily used for server-side development (e.g., with Spring and Ktor) and multiplatform projects, allowing developers to share code across Android, iOS, web, and desktop applications.
