🥳 Kotlin 1.0 was released 7 years ago!
Since then, it's evolved from a Java alternative to an ecosystem that allows writing code for server-side, mobile, frontend, data science, and more.
Concise. Cross-platform. Fun. 💜
When and why did you start using Kotlin?

September of that 1.0 year, because a bunch of folks, including
@lime_cl
, were writing about it, and it seemed to solve long standing problems I had with other programming languages like Java.

I started using Kotlin in 2018 and the primary reason was to get ride of NullPointerExceptions 💥

👏I started using kotlin in 2019 because I was assigned a project that was built in Kotlin. From then till the date I am using and loving it.

We were using Kotlin in production at
@LOVOOEng
over a year before it was officially supported by Google. Never looked back.

I have been using it ever since it reached 1.0 and never looked back 🥰 it was not always easy to convince colleagues and clients to move forward with it but the language had strong arguments even at its early days ☺️

Started use kotlin in 2017, was involved in a new project and we decided use kotlin because it is faster, more productive, easier to use and less verbose than java.

I have started using Kotlin since 2017❤️. In fact, I have used it mainly in backend development. I have coded many micro services using it. I’m big fun of nullsafety, functional programming Kotlin style and facilities, immutability, extension functions, pattern matching, …

This year, never too late, and because of the great reactive and functional programming support that C#/.NET would only dream of.

It’s great if you’re writing an end-user product, but if you’re writing APIs that have to be Java compatible, and remain compatible across Kotlin and Java upgrades, then it’s a bit of a nightmare.

Started using Kotlin for Android back in 2017. Instantly fell in love and became my go-to lang for anything and everything. My profs didn't even recognize the lang when I submitted my homework in it.
