Short intro
Kotlin is a modern, statically-typed programming language which can be used for both object-oriented and functional programming. It targets multiple platforms, like the JVM, and is fully interoperable with Java. After its official release in 2016, Kotlin has a rapid growing community, especially since Google announced it as official language for Android development.
