A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

regarding the questions i just got after my coding session:
i've demoed *Ktor* because it is "pure kotlin" (backed by jetbrains, just as *Exposed* is), and the talk was title _idiomatic kotlin_. *micronaut* et al are IMHO _generic java_ frameworks, which wouldn't really fit the title. (already decided to have an exception with TestNG vs Spek :see_no_evil:)

PS: i personally don't like the spring-like annotation approach of micronaut is using. i prefer having code all over where possible; no properties files, no YAML/XML files, no annotations; just pure, mighty code :muscle::skin-tone-2:

By funny coincidence, this article is in today’s Kotlin Weekly comparing microservice frameworks. Didn’t read through it yet but looks like there’s a lot of detail there. <https://romankudryashov.com/blog/2020/01/heterogeneous-microservices/>
