\n

So Android developer are you still working in Java , even after official announcement<\/a> of Kotlin an an official supported language to write Android apps ? Do you still have a deep feel than Java is better and you don’t have enough reason for change ?<\/p>\n

Lets look at some of the points below which according to me is bit risky but one of the best then you can go if you plan to adopt Kotlin .<\/p>\n

Language And Environment Are Mature<\/h3>\n
\n

The Kotlin is mature enough to handle almost everything , as because it has gone through numerous of stages before a final 1.0 release has come out in the market . The Alpha and Beta version of this has existed for several years in the market to use it in real project and after than a final version has rolled out .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

Kotlin already consist of almost all the features that are existing in Java , thus working in Kotlin is awesome in that sense .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Easing Android App Development<\/h3>\n
\n

According to Winklix , the only viable alternative that we have address till now is Kotlin . Kotlin is simply mixed with power . The development time is almost same as in Java ( sometimes it also appears to be faster ) , and it is not like other tools namely Scala which are heavy and complex to use.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

Even the library used to write Kotlin is very small and will obviously not increase the method count that much .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

It Can Be Easily Integrated With Android Studio<\/h3>\n
\n

Kotlin can be well integrated with Android studio within 10 minutes without any hiccups , and that is the case when you don’t know a K about Kotlin .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

The best thing being it works just like Java , you can run from IDE , debug without following the lengthy process , use instant run and more . We can simply can what you have imagined so far is available to be used on Kotlin .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

If You Are Android Developer , You Need To Upgrade Yourself<\/h3>\n
\n

Are you still working with Java 6 . Damm you are an outdated programmer then . Using a new language like Kotlin opens up the doors of your mind and will force you to think in a different way , in a new way !!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

This new knowledge will help you wash your brain and you will be able to gain new knowledge of the code even if you don’t change the language you are using . Now as I have learned Kotlin , it helps to solve the things in different manner in Java but Kotlin has helped me in leading new concepts that I was not known before .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

In addition to above , you will also become more versatile . If you look at the languages like Swift , Ruby , Groovy it will look like very similar language as they are using the similar concepts .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

Also as a developer , your value will increase by default if you jump to another developmental language .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/h3>\n

Much Safer Than Java<\/h3>\n
\n

With using Kotlin , it results in :<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
