Kotlin is positioned as the next programming language that Java developers can learn in about a week due to similarities with Java. It improves on Java by reducing build time, enabling better static code analysis, and allowing code to be reversible between Java and Kotlin. Resources for learning Kotlin include interactive tutorials, puzzle exercises, and books on using Kotlin for Android development, general web development, and as an actionable reference.
