Modern, concise, and safe language for Android, backend, and multiplatform
Kotlin is Google's preferred language for Android development and a powerful choice for backend services. Created by JetBrains, Kotlin combines the best of object-oriented and functional programming with modern language features like null safety, coroutines, and extension functions. It's 100% interoperable with Java, making migration seamless while offering significantly improved developer productivity and code safety.
Write less code, catch more errors, and ship faster with Kotlin.
