A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Hi all. I'm new to Kotlin, coming from the javascript world. I've primarily only worked with javascript, node, react, etc. and while I feel I've got a pretty decent grasp of all of that, I'm in a job now where I need to use Kotlin. 

Most of the learning resources I've found have been from the perspective of java programmers or android programmers. Does anyone have any resources that aren't written from that perspective? Also, are there any resources written for folks coming from javascript?

This is a common question and I'm yet to see a satisfying answer yet, I think the problem is that a lot of the Kotlin is basically "tweaked and improved Java", so a lot of it only makes sense if you already know Java.

My suggestion would be to start reading the reference, and if you don't get something first try looking up the Java equivalent and ortherwise ask here.

This came up at our San Diego KUG meeting as well.  Sounds like a great book opportunity for someone who's so inclined.
