The JVM integration is one of the best things about using languages like Kotlin and Scala. Years and years of well tested libraries that just work.
Also like the Corda shout-out as one of the engineers that works on it 😀😀.
To see usage of Kotlin in large codebases it is probably a good place to start. Also taking a look at libraries like Ktor that are also developed in Kotlin is a good idea!
That being said, I am curious how java turns out as it takes in newer features that other languages have adopted. Personally I'm still on java 8 though 😂😂.
Indeed JVM is the powerful VM on which many languages run. Start using Kotlin for some new features and share if you see any changes in the code readability and LOC.
Hi,
by using Kotlin, do I get full access to the java APIs and libraries ? To quote just two examples of what I use in my open-source project ( Open Lowcode ), could I use Apache PDF Box and javafx ?
This was not clear to me reading your articles.
Yes, you can access any java code from Kotlin, including third party libraries.
Thanks for sharing this information !
Amazing article to learn basics about Kotlin.
Thanks for your valuable feedback. Keep reading.
