The announcement of first-class Android support has given an extra boost to the rapidly progressing Kotlin language, and we're closely following the progress of Kotlin/Native — the LLVM-backed ability to compile to native executables. Null safety, data classes and the ease of creating DSLs are some of the benefits we've enjoyed, along with the Anko library for Android development. Despite the downsides of slow initial compilation and reliance on IntelliJ for first-class IDE support, we recommend giving this fresh and concise modern language a try.
