Who here is using Kotlin in a non android project or organisation?

[diesieben07]

I am.

[andy.burdett]

I'm trying to get our organisation to adopt Kotlin and I'm looking for support. Are you using Kotlin for work or Personal project or both?

[diesieben07]

Both, I use it at work for new things I write and I am planning to migrate our current (terrible) PHP API to Kotlin at some point, too. But it's a small startup.

[lex]

it is good, but most, almost all, enterprise companies still use java due to high price of implementation it in production

[hho]

I started introducing it for integration tests.

[andy.burdett]

@lex what do you see as the high price of implementation?

[andy.burdett]

@hho using it for tests is a good way to introduce it. Low risk.

[lex]

@andy.burdett i mean introduction in production

[lex]

but it is realy bearded PM opinion

[andy.burdett]

@lex same question still applies. What do you mean by high price of introduction into production?

[andy.burdett]

It's about risk right?

[lex]

@andy.burdett yes

My friend is trying to write all new microservices at his job at an edu-tech company in Kotlin. They already have a few in production

[tcreeds]

I work at a large insurance company, and the team I just joined uses kotlin. That's not the norm at this company though

I’m waiting for the next Kotlin-compatible Spring release before I start lobbying for it.
