I'm new to programming and want to learn Kotlin as my first language. I'm currently a Private Cloud Admin but was wondering if anyone uses Kotlin in the Cloud/DevOps space?

04/27/2023, 7:20 AMI know that Kotlin can be pretty useful when creating a DSL (Domain Specific Language), which is probably relevant in many DevOps use cases - an example for such a DSL would be https://dev.to/jmfayard/github-actions-a-new-hope-in-yaml-wasteland-1i9c by @jmfayard -> let’s you write Kotlin instead of yaml for Github Actions. Might be also a good starting point for learning Kotlin 😉
