is kotlin good for programming?

I don’t know, at work we use COBOL 85 without object orientation nor functional programming. We also only use global variables, which makes testing quite easy.
Compared to that, Kotlin only adds complexity, so we will never want to migrate to Kotlin having all the modern stuff including builtin structured concurrency. And who needs multiplatform support at all?

This is a rather strange question to ask on this Slack, but no need to be passive-agressive in the answer 😆

It was a joke question!

Have only done a little kotlin on the backend before and thought it was nice. About to work on a project that’ll use it for mobile.
Haven’t really touched android since 2010, wish me luck
