      …that’s a language.

      Think Spring Boot or Play or Grails, etc.

      Edit> Nevermind, the title here didn’t properly reflect the title of the article. Kotlin is very valid as part of the stack of development in Java. My apologies for my pedantry :)

      I’m not a huge fan of Kotlin. Overall it’s fine, but in my opinion it tries to do too many cool things. It feels like a playground for language authors.

        My view on it as an Android dev: it’s a powerful language that has stripped back all the boilerplate and crustiness of Java into concise and expressive functional programming.

        I dislike how much I write to say very little in Java.

        It does mean that there is a lot more of a learning curve to Kotlin.

    Currently Java 11 + Spring Boot + Hibernate/JPA. The hope is to get rid of the legacy Play Framework crap so we can move to the latest Java LTS and get fully up to date with Spring Boot.
