About Kotlin
Kotlin is a cross-platform, statically typed and a general-purpose programming language with type inference. Kotlin is specially designed to work in conjugation with Java completely, and the Java virtual machine version of Kotlin's standard library mainly depends on the Java Class Library, but type inference allows its syntax to be more concise.
Kotlin mainly targets/ focus on the Java virtual machine, and it also compiles to JavaScript (e.g., for frontend web applications with the use of React) or native code (via LLVM); e.g., for native iOS apps which shares business logic with Android apps. Language development costs are carried by JetBrains, while the Kotlin Foundation protects the Kotlin trademark.
Google on 7 May 2019, announced that the Kotlin programming language is now a preferred language for Android app developers. Since the release of Android Studio 3.0 in October 2017, Kotlin has been included as an alternative to the standard Java compiler. The Android Kotlin compiler produces Java 8 bytecode by default (which runs in any later JVM), which lets the programmer to choose target Java 9 up to 16, for optimization, or allows for more features; has bidirectional record class interoperability support for JVM, introduced in Java 16, considered stable as of Kotlin 1.5.
