Shriv Commedia Solutions - The vagaries of technological advancements in app developments have met another surprise with the introduction of ‘Kotlin’ coding language.
As we know, the demands for android app development have surged to the next level and it will continue to be in trend for the long haul. When it comes to app development, Java is the name that strikes first in our minds. It has been widely used and the most preferred one for developers. However, the trend is about to change. Today, most of the developers are opting for the modern programming language, ‘Kotlin’. The buzz around this newly found replacement for Java has already dominated the Android App Development Services. But the long sustained reputation and the open-source library & varied tools of Java has enough to stand tall in the competition. Let’s take a deeper analysis of these two coding languages and explore their specifications.
It has numerous amounts of users and plays a significant role in the field of mobile app development. The simplified features of Java make it popular in its niche. Discussing about its features, it is platform-independent and easy to learn and comprehend. Its uses enable us to create modular programs and reusable codes. This is a dynamic and efficient language that allows developer to do centralized programming. It also offers high security and performance boost in different circumstances. Thus, Java, no doubt, has been in the center of focus for Software Development Company like Shriv ComMedia Solutions.
On the flip side, Kotlin is introduced in 2011 as a general-purpose programming language. It allows the developer to build applications on JavaScript, HTML or CSS. Kotlin focuses on mixed-language projects and also ensures improvement in syntax, expressions, and abstractions. In the beginning, accessibility issues were confronted, but with the growing popularity, such problems were addressed. The biggest advantage of Kotlin is that it is compatible with the Java Script and can use its existing libraries and frameworks. It can be automatically converted from Java by adhering to Java Virtual Machine Bytecode and JavaScript. Since code review is one of the most complex jobs in programming even at CRM Software Development Services, with Kotlin the tedious task has become easier.
Both Kotlin and Java stand on the same page with a limited amount of similarities in their offered features. Interoperability is one of the core features of Kotlin which allows to utilize any existing library for android, JVM or others. A programmer can write the code by using the existing Java code. The inherent feature of null safety in Kotlin negates the errors in androids or Java arising from the absence of NullPointerException. Although the inherent character of Kotlin make it superior to Java, the simple and minimalistic specifications of Java offers enough in the ground of application development.
