kotlinlang

Anyone know of any good resources for "why kotlin"?

I remember have read something useful there

the null-safety was enough to get several people where I worked

Jetbrains also published some case studies:
• multiplatform -&gt; <https://kotlinlang.org/lp/mobile/case-studies/>
• server -&gt; <https://kotlinlang.org/lp/server-side/case-studies>

If you haven't read his old chestnut on Java, execution in the kingdom of the nouns, you should

<@UQGEZNTFD> here are three great links

1. <https://developer.android.com/kotlin/stories>
2. <https://developer.android.com/kotlin/adopt-for-large-teams>
3. And my favorite... the one that started adoption of kotlin at my company is the one written by JakeWharton here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ReS3ep-hjxWA8kZi0YqDbEhCqTt29hG8P44aA9W0DM8/edit>
