kotlinlang

Hi. If I were to create a library-only project to form an SDK. Would it make sense to use Kotlin? Or is it more wise to go with a Java-Only SDK so it easier for people to integrate?

There should be no difference in how complex or easy it is to use library written in Kotlin. The biggest disadvantage is you drag <#C0B8Q383C|stdlib> with you even if your SDK doesn't use anything from it. Sad thing about 1.1 there is some code injected by Kotlin compiler that uses functions from stdlib. In 1.0 stdlib and runtime lib were separate, so you could depend only on the latter and that meant not so many functions were added when depending on it transitively.
