With a short learning curve, Kotlin quickly allows developers to write concise and expressive code both in new and existing applications thanks to its full interoperability with Java stacks. Kotlin is an open-source programming language that offers many of today’s expected features and solves dozens of issues that Java suffers from. Traditionally, Java was the language of choice for developers building server-side applications targeting the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).īut with limited features for today’s modern requirements, Java often results in cumbersome developer experience and a painfully slow time-to-value for many applications. Web servers can no longer be limited to simply printing web pages, but must also receive, store and transform data destined to reach user devices in record time. With the rise of mobile and modern web applications, backends have evolved from monolithic web containers to a distributed mesh of data-driven applications.
In this post, we focus on the advantages of Kotlin and why we prefer it over Java for our own server-side app development in Adobe Experience Platform.
This is the first of a three-part series in which we re-introduce developers to Kotlin as an alternative for building server-side applications.
