Learn all about Kotlin

Kotlin is a modern programming language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), Android, and JavaScript. It was created by JetBrains, the company behind popular development tools like IntelliJ IDEA, as a more modern and concise alternative to Java. Kotlin was designed to be interoperable with Java, meaning it can use Java libraries and frameworks seamlessly.
