Sure I had the same doubts initially, but I confess I switched most because of hype and because I found very pleasant to writing Kotlin code 🙈

[nitinmesta]

Even I love writing it in Kotlin. But I get questions like is it helping in performance of the app written ?

[nitinmesta]

that bothers me . But now I am clear

[leosan]

I think it helped not because of the programming language per se, but because I started to care more about writing better code.

[nitinmesta]

Ok . Thank you

[nitinmesta]

thanks for you time and suggestion

[nitinmesta]

It will help me for sure

[leosan]

no problem at all, any question just ask

[nitinmesta]

Any idea about coroutines ?

[leosan]

especially about coroutines

[nitinmesta]

I am not able to understand on it

[leosan]

for instance I found that writing IO operations in parallel with coroutines made my IO operations much faster

[leosan]

I could have done this with threads and java, but writing the same thing is just much easier and clean and fluid

[nitinmesta]

I need to learn it

[nitinmesta]

but not able to understand the concept. May be i should give it a try with some examples

[leosan]

the coroutines guides are very well detailed and I recommend. I still don't fully understand most of the features it but only with the basics I was able to improve this operation converting/writing images into the disk

Thanks @leosan

[leosan]

and I think I would definitely have much more trouble to understand parallelism in Java and doing this with threads. But this is just my personal feedback

[nitinmesta]

ok
