Answer from AI
Kotlin is a modern statically typed programming language developed by JetBrains, fully compatible with Java, and runs on the JVM.
Main features of Kotlin:
- Concise and expressive syntax, reducing boilerplate code.
- Null safety to reduce NullPointerException errors.
- Support for functional programming features (lambdas, higher-order functions).
- Compatibility with existing Java code and libraries.
- Support for coroutines for asynchronous programming.
Kotlin is widely used for Android app development thanks to official support from Google and improved code readability.
