Kotlin 1.1: What’s coming in the standard library

Re:Kotlin 1.1: What’s coming in the standard library by jorgemf on Tuesday January 24, 2017 @10:06PM (#13478103)

I would want to see a bigger adoption and companies start using it more often, so I can use it in more projects. I really like using it over other languages.

Every time I write java I think: I would had spent less time writing this in kotlin and the code would be more readable.

Every time I use a non-statically typed language and have a bug because of it I drop a tear thinking that I would never had that bug that took me a couple of days to find in kotlin.

Oh sure it would be nice to see it adopted more widely. I just mean it's not in the vulnerable position of most new(ish) languages. Kotlin is ready for use in any suitable project by anyone who likes it. Though I'm a bit raw with it as yet, I love it for Android. Look forward to seeing the javascript & native possibilities.

Why not use it on a file-to-file basis in a Java-project. That is exactly what the makers thought of.

Because sometimes you have to use other language and other times you have a boss which takes the decisions.

All my side projects are kotlin now.
