Translated title:
Presentation of characteristics of the Kotlin programming language. Comparison with existing popular programming languages. Implementation of an Android App with Kotlin.
Summary:
Kotlin is a statically-typed programming language that can run on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). It is an open source, general purpose and pragmatic computer programming language that combines both the object-oriented and functional programming features within it. Kotlin is relevant today because of two reasons. It has been developed as a solution to the problems that Android developers have faced over a period of time. Therefore, it answers most of the main issues that surfaced in Java, providing developers with inter-operability, safety, clarity, and tooling support. The excitement around Kotlin is generated by the fact that Google has lapped it up as the go-to language for Android app development. The prime reason for this adoption was its modernity – in terms of its power, flexibility and democratic approach. Kotlin is also interoperable with the existing Android languages. The thesis presents the Kotlin programming language, a comparison of Java and Kotlin and an implementation of an indicative application in the Kotlin programming language on Android Studio.
