11/03/2018, 10:28 AMHi everyone! Happy to be here. I have a background in web and iOS but I’m completely new to kotlin. Is kotlin to java as swift is to objc? Are the development environments similar? Is there an xcode parallel for kotlin?

And IntelliJ IDEA is the IDE of choice. Eclipse can be used as there's a Kotlin plugin for it too, but most would agree that IntelliJ is the more powerful of the two.
