What is Kotlin?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kotlin is a high-level programming language that combines features of object-oriented and functional programming paradigms<\/strong>. It was developed by JetBrains, a multinational software company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like Java, the Kotlin source code is first converted to bytecode and executed on a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), independent of an external environment or an external operating system. JVM is the virtual machine that enables the operating system to run programs written in Java or another compatible programming language whose code is compiled in Java bytecode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kotlin includes various functional programming functions such as lambda expressions, higher order functions, inline functions, anonymous functions, generics and recursion. It also has the ability to support data classes and type aliases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the 2017 Developer Conference, Google recognized it as the official programming language for the Android platform<\/strong>. This makes Kotlin the third official language of the Android platform alongside Java and C++.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the role of a Kotlin developer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kotlin developers are in charge of planning, designing and developing apps and software<\/strong> using Kotlin. They contribute in all phases of the development cycle and then test <\/strong>and amend features, when needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kotlin developers ensure that the designs comply with the specifications provided. They write well-designed and efficient code<\/strong> and also analyze<\/strong>, test and assist <\/strong>with the integration of applications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
