A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Also, why is the language named "Kotlin"?

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kotlin_(programming_language)#History>

only tangentially related, but… the examples and copy on this page are decidedly not good lmao

&gt;&gt;&gt;
Kotlin provides Data Classes to define classes that store only properties. In Java programming, classes that store only properties are not unusual, but regular classes are used for this purpose. Kotlin has given provision to exclusively define classes that store properties alone. These data classes do not have any methods but only properties. A data class does not contain a body, unlike a regular class. *data* keyword is used before *class* keyword to define a data class.

Yea and it doesn't organize information very well. The spread operator does look like it should be in position #4

Anyone can edit Wikipedia. You are not even required to create an account (but your IP address wil be used instead as long as it's not blacklisted). So, why not improve it?

Because I'm trying to get a multiplatform project working first :slightly_smiling_face:

<@U3ZLHBTLG> got a bit of time to kill waiting for a meeting so I made my first wikipedia edit: <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kotlin_(programming_language)&amp;diff=907666841&amp;oldid=907398808.> I hope I don't sound too much as a fan boy !

It's really the warm up, the section that needs the more love is certainly not the adoption one but I'm quite new to the process so let's see how this one goes first

If you plan on working on the page a bit more, I’d strongly recommend giving this contribution page a read: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Writing_better_articles#Tone>

One of the biggest problems with many relatively nascent development-adjacent articles is a lack of consistent tone and presentation. This results in a very “tech blogger” feel which is rather inappropriate for Wikipedia and, imo, hurts the image of the subject

Thanks. Are you saying that in relation to my change or as a more general advice ?

Just general advice, not trying to call you out specifically

Ok thanks. Asking in case I could change something there. Don't hesitate if you see things could be rephrased (or well I guess you can edit directly too :))
