In the Android world, Kotlin is likely to be overwhelmed today by Google’s surprise announcement that Kotlin will become an official programming language. From the launch of Koltin project in June 2011 to the release of Kotlin 1.0 in February 2016, support for AndroidStudio and the development of Eclipse plug-ins has been implemented. Kotlin’s owner is JetBrains, a very smart software development company. It seems that the relationship with Google is getting better and better.
I first learned that Kotlin originated from a series of articles about Kotlin published by doctor public account, written by Tao Ge. If you are interested, you can review the relevant information and usage of this language. Open GitHub, type Kotlin, and search a lot of them. The first is the official project source code and Kotlin. The official website is here. There is no doubt that the best way to learn Kotlin is here.
Now that the Android team has announced first-class support for Kotlin, that means Koltin will be the dominant language for Android development in the future, It reminds me that When Google launched AndroidStudio, it went from a buggy beta to a ubiquitous Android development tool, so Kotlin must have gone through the same process. Unfortunately, there are not many Android projects now. But I still pay attention to Android and everything about Google, afraid to miss any good chapters, each new technology is the result of the power behind these giant companies. I don’t need to take care of the details, but remember to learn this stuff!
