Kotlin is more than just the Android house language
Ryan welcomes Jeffrey van Gogh, Director of Engineering, Android Developer Experience, at Google and board member of the Kotlin Foundation. They discuss the evolution of the Kotlin language from JVM to multiplatform, how their governance board works with the community to stop breaking changes, and the intricacies of Kotlin’s multiplatform capabilities beyond just Android.
Episode notes:
The Kotlin Foundation’s mission is to protect, promote, and advance the development of the Kotlin programming language.
Over half of respondents in this year’s Annual Developer Survey reported that they want to start using Kotlin in the next year.
