The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source

The Kotlin Programming Language (Interview)

Listen Later

Dmitry Jemerov joined the show to talk about Kotlin - a language created by JetBrains that’s designed to be an industrial-strength object-oriented language, and a “better language” than Java. We asked Dmitry “Why invent a new language?”, talked through Google announcing official Android support, covered some of Kotlin’s characteristics, Kotlin vs Swift, and more.
