Whenever we think of developing an android application , we always think of developing it on java language . However its 2018 , wherein there are varieties of alternatives available to build the app apart from java .<\/p>\n

Certain programming languages has been able to catch many eyes off lately this years and one of them is Google I\/O , which is now known to be the first official language of Android , named as Kotlin . Even the android studio supports Kotlin . Kotlin can be used easily in android studio and the main benefit being it reduces the overall app development time to great extent .<\/p>\n

Now the main confusion which arises while talking about app development<\/a> is which one to choose : Java or Kotlin ? Which one is better ? Lets read further to further find out .<\/p>\n

What Is Kotlin ?<\/h3>\n

Kotlin is open source programming language use to build awesome mobile application<\/a>s . It is preloaded with object oriented and functional programming features for JVM and Android .<\/p>\n

Kotlin was originally discovered in 2010 by JetBrains , the firm which is known for its well know Java IDEs .<\/p>\n

Kotlin VS Java<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n
The best part for the developer when it comes to learning a Kotlin is any experienced Java developer can get the whole idea of Kotlin and that to within few hours . Kotlin is originally oriented from Java only , and that is the reason developers can use both Java and Kotlin simultaneously to get the best output .<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Java frameworks and libraries can be easily created in Kotlin . Choosing Kotlin over Java will surely give you number of benefits in your app development process such as safe casting , extension function and much more .<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Is Moving From Java To Kotlin Is Good & Safer Decision ?<\/h3>\n
Java is worlds most widely used programming languages , however it might not be the case when we are talking about Android development<\/a> aways.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Java is a prehistoric language , although recent launch of Java 8 with lambda function has impressed many developers , but the fact is when we are actually building apps on android studio \u00a0android will only support subset Java8 features , and thereby you may not be able to take the full stack advantage of Java 8 .<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Apart from it NullPointException and try catchy blocks are another of the greatest issue faced buy a programmer during development . As we all know java is ancient language , its syntax is also very old when we are comparing it with modern programming language .<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So answering the above question , Kotlin code is is better than Java code , and can perfectly work on android . But Kotlin is not preferred for freshers as it will be very hard to learn in case you are not aware with the concept of core Java . So for newbies you can start with Java and can later move on to Kotlin .<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

So Will Winklix<\/a> Prefer You To Use Kotlin ?<\/h3>\n
Java is a old school programming language which we have been using since last 10 years . Although there are high end developers who can give you an awesome output , but the limitation of programming language is always been there over the years . And that is the reason Kotlin has come with more viable approached such as :<\/div>\n
