I know i'm a little bit late but here we go..    ðŸ˜ˆðŸ˜ˆ

The Google team has now officially supported Kotlin as official programming language. It’s exciting for Android developer like us because it brings in all of the benefits of modern programming languages to Android platform without any restrictions. Kotlin has been supported by many other large companies like Pininterest, Basecamp and Keepsafe’s app lock.

Kotlin Vs Java

Any language is not a perfect one. There are benefits as well as liabilities. But the new versions always tend to surpass the old ones. There were some series of issues that Java encountered which is now fixed in Kotlin such as invariant arrays, no checked exceptions and raw types and null references are controlled by the type system.
