In this episode of The Programming Languages Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore how Kotlin has become the dominant language for Android development and is now expanding into server-side, multiplatform, and data science. They discuss Kotlin's rise from JetBrains' lab to Google's preferred language, its modern features like coroutines and null safety, and how it's competing with Java, Swift, and Rust. Specific examples include Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile being adopted by Netflix and the Kotlin DataFrame library for data science. The hosts also touch on the role of Kotlin in backend systems at companies like Amazon and Google. They conclude by examining whether Kotlin can become a 'one language to rule them all' for full-stack development. A brief mention of listener support via buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo is woven into the conversation.
