Introduction to Kotlin JVM language

  1. 1. An Introduction to Kotlin JVM language Andrius Klimavičius
  2. 2. Intro • JVM language • Android and browser support. • Developed by JetBrains • Open Source • First appeared in 2011 • Still in Beta (v1.0.0-beta-3595)
  3. 3. Kotlin google: kotlin logo
  4. 4. Modern Language for Industry • 100% interoperable with Java • Concise - no boilerplate code • Safe - convert runtime errors into compile time • Tools support (command-line, plugins) • Targets Java 6
  5. 5. Comparison • Runtime error -> Compile time errors
  6. 6. Kotlin addresses Java problems • Null references are controlled by the type system. • No raw types • Arrays in Kotlin are invariant • Kotlin has proper function types, as opposed to Java’s SAM-conversions • Kotlin does not have checked exceptions • Use-site variance without wildcards (<? extends T>)
  7. 7. Kotlin vs Java • No checked exceptions • No primitive types that are not classes • No static members • No non-private fields • No wildcard-types
  8. 8. Kotlin vs Java (2) • Function literals + Inline functions • Extension functions • Null-safety • Smart casts • String templates • Properties • First-class delegation • Type inference • Singletons • Range expressions • Operator overloading • Companion objects
  9. 9. Features • String templates • Named arguments & defaults (verbose code) • Lambda expressions • Null-Safety (nullable, non-nullable refs) • Functional programming methods (filter,map,…) • Extensions (like Objective-C, C#) • Auto generated POJOs (data class)
  10. 10. Features (2) • Destructuring Declarations • Generics (Java) • Ranges • Operator Overloading • Optional semi-colons • Android support • ….
