Java Vs. Kotlin — The Only Comparison Guide You Need To Read

Communication is the edifice of a creature’s entire existence. All the creatures in this world communicate through gestures and squeaks, but only the human species were fortunate enough to be bestowed upon the blessing of speech. Speech is our ability through which we could transform our thoughts into words, string them into sentences, and ultimately pass it on as a language. And that’s how elite we humans could talk and express. 

Although the entire human race possesses the bliss of speech and expression, the variations among them lead them to profess different languages, and that’s what linguistic distinction is all about. We live in a world that comprises within itself about 204 countries and the relative cultures they withhold. This cultural diversity causes all of us to practice and profess several languages. And these several languages are what tends to separate us ethnically.

But what if we were to tell you that there is one language that unifies us, a language free of cultural labels or ethnic strings. And that language would be the programming language; when it comes to programming languages, we don’t give them enough credit about how they encapsulate within them all distinct human languages into a set of syntactic statements and how they serve as a barn wire that ties all languages of the world as simple computer statements. 

Java VS Kotlin: A Programmer’s Dilemma 

Well, all the java proficients out there must have exhausted their minds designing long codes thrusting their minds into complex logic. Then one day, a developer thought to redeem programmers of these sluggish syntax patterns and tedious semantics and hence introduced Kotlin. This java-based language eminently surpassed java in terms of library updates, coroutines, and the introduction of various online classes along with unsigned integers. And that’s why Kotlin is quoted to be a better Java. However, it has not gained much recognition as of now. Still, if we consider the statistics of the Annual JVM survey, it turns out that Kotlin was ranked second on the most popular JVM languages, thereby marking an excellent badge of recognition in the realms of programming languages. So, that ends our exhibit A, in the Java Vs. kotlin argument.

Java, Kotlin, And The Brevity Factor 

Every techno-based area is beheld to drift over the parameters like brevity, clarity, and simplicity. Programming languages trace back to 1956, and a primitive era like that was unable to deliver such high standard virtues in a single program. But with the passage of time and the turn of the century, programming languages evolved through code optimization, built-in functions, and other essential fundamental additions. 

That was what java was known to be, a well-established language that is highly optimized in codes and syntaxes and carved out an engineered niche over the programming world until 2011. Because 2011 in the programming era was the year of revolution when a newly conceptualized language that held roots of java entered the programming world, this language had several built-in operations and functions that concise within succinct codes, therefore ruling the language works through brevity factor.

Java, Kotlin And The Ubiquitous Resource Factor 

Programming languages run on platforms, though some of these languages are significantly upgraded and are not bounded by the shackles of platforms and resources, and that’s what in computer terms is known to be interoperability. 

Well, Kotlin was explicitly designed to excel in this significant field of interoperability. And Kotlin successfully implements this by providing a multiple form library to the users so they can easily merge two different language codes and form extended code modules within the same compiler.
