Behold true 21 century programming language, Java monkeys. How does it feel to write in Java 8 in 2017 when a lot of people around the world are currently programming in Kotlin%%Java 15%%?
Kotlin has already got support from Google on Android. It is just a matter of time when every single app on Android will be written not in Java, but in Kotlin.

Moreover, Kotlin is compatible with Java: you can call Java code from Kotlin. Major frameworks already introducing official support for kotlin:

Oh wait, but Kotlin has started to conquer not only JVM platform, but also native world.

Finally those poor C and C++ guys will get a chance to use syntax sugar out of the box without need to program tons of template boilerplate.
Java, C++ monkeys, if you do not want to become unemployed in near future, you just need to learn Kotlin. There are not alternatives. Kotlin designers constructed ultimate language which got all the best practices from both imperative and functional world and took into account all the mistakes made in other languages.

but learning kotlin for someone who is already proficient in java 8 takes literally less than a day

I shilled Kotlin before it was cool.

Does it though? Can you override? Are strings still a nightmare like java

why wouldn't you be able to override?
>Are strings still a nightmare like java
how exactly are they a nightmare?

>>60497706
what about someone who only knows very basic programming, is it easy to learn?
>>
>>60497834
I'd say it is, but they would need to learn some Java first to have a proper understaning of what goes on behind some of the magic Kotlin does to be more concise and friendly than Java.

How many retarded languages do we need?
All that shit is just C,C++,Java repackaged.
>>
>>60497903
as many as it takes for every programming task to be as easy, fast and pleasant to complete as it can be
>>
>>60497678
What advantages does it bring over Java though?

technology is so fun
