In Kotlin, I especially like the following features:
- Concise syntax — less boilerplate code compared to Java, for example, data class for simple creation of classes with fields.
- Type safety and null-safety — built-in system prevents NullPointerException errors at compile time.
- Extension functions — ability to add new functions to existing classes without inheritance.
- Coroutines support — a convenient and efficient way to work with asynchronous code and threads.
- Interoperability with Java — can use existing Java libraries without issues.
Example of a data class and extension:
data class User(val name: String, val age: Int)
fun User.isAdult() = age >= 18
val user = User("Ivan", 20)
println(user.isAdult()) // true
