Since then, the<br \/>Android development community is in a state of constant confusion and dilemma.<br \/>And the question that is troubling them is obvious i.e. should they now use<br \/>Java or Kotlin for the development of the android apps?<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Java has been the go-to language for almost all android<br \/>developers but after Google announced Kotlin as the most superior programming<br \/>language, the dominance of Java over other language is been questioned. Though<br \/>the development and improvements are still under process, Kotlin sits at the<br \/>throne and has been considered as a mature ecosystem. Let\u2019s take a deeper dive<br \/>into Kotlin vs Java.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Familiar with Kotlin<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Programmers who designed Kotlin were from JetBrains<br \/>(creators of integrated development environments) and their aim was to level up<br \/>Java Mobile development through the addition of some advanced features.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Google itself said goodbye to Java and hello to Kotlin,<br \/>internally, on Android.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Kotlin is basically a programming language that is<br \/>statically typed and is open source. It is also based on Java Virtual Machine<br \/>just like C\/C++. It can also comply with JavaScript or Native for building<br \/>codes that are able to run on iOS. All you need is to install the Kotlin Plugin<br \/>and let it manage the configuration of your project. The introduction of Kotlin<br \/>to the world of android development gave it an extraordinary modern touch. It<br \/>overcomes the lack that Java prominently had.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages of Kotlin<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Kotlin has a tight grip when it comes to android<br \/>development. However, it is also used in Backend projects like Spring 5.<\/li>\n<li>Kotlin can be compiled to almost all kinds of<br \/>platforms such as JVM, Android, Native, and JavaScript. Using the Multiplatform<br \/>framework of Kotlin you are able to extract a common database that is capable<br \/>of targeting all platforms at the same time.<\/li>\n<li>Kotlin can be used in Gradle build scripts<br \/>directly because of its scripting capabilities.<\/li>\n<li>Converting Java into Kotlin is easy. You can do<br \/>it by just installing the Kotlin plugin, adding it to Gradle build files and<br \/>then select \u2018convert\u2019.<\/li>\n<li>Modern programming concepts are supported by<br \/>Kotlin. These include delegates, higher-order functions, extension functions<br \/>and much more in order to provide help in building clean APIs.<\/li>\n<li>Null safety support that is built-in and an<br \/>ultimate lifesaver is made available by Kotlin. Especially on android.<\/li>\n<li>Kotlin is way more expressive and concise as<br \/>compared to Java. This means there is very little room left for errors.<\/li>\n<li>New modules can be written in Kotlin which can<br \/>work alongside your existing Java code. One more added benefit is that it is<br \/>compatible with, the JVM, Java frameworks and libraries. It can be easily<br \/>integrated with Maven build systems or with Gradle.<\/li>\n<li>Developers can easily benefit from the fast-growing<br \/>collection of projects on GitHub and are open source, also from various<br \/>learning resources, books, and online courses.<\/li>\n<li>The adoption of Kotlin will not cost anything.<br \/>(Except for training and learning)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disadvantages of Kotlin<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Kotlin\u2019s compilation speed is slower as compared<br \/>to Java. Though in some cases, Kotlin seemed to be the winner.<\/li>\n<li>It has a small community of developers that<br \/>means greater chances of difficulties in finding answers to important questions<br \/>and limited learning resources.<\/li>\n<li>Kotlin developers are increasing in numbers but<br \/>finding an experienced professional or an expert for your team can be<br \/>challenging and will require some extra effort.<\/li>\n<li>Kotlin, in corresponding JVMbytecode, sometimes<br \/>creates a large amount of boilerplate.<\/li>\n<li>The steep learning curve, when the entire team<br \/>is switched to Kotlin because of the concise syntax of the language, can be<br \/>both; challenge and a blessing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Cases of Kotlin<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Applications that are written in Kotlin are:<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Trello: a platform for organizing work and<br \/>creating customized to-do lists.<\/li>\n<li>CarLens: An application for car recognition that<br \/>is powered by machine learning and it is made by the R&amp;D team of Netguru.<br \/>It is purpose is to detect cars and show their information.<\/li>\n<li>Pinterest: A mobile application that is very<br \/>popular as a social platform for sharing creative ideas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Familiar with Java<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Originally Sun Microsystems developed Java as a programming<br \/>language that is project-oriented. In the present age, it is under the<br \/>possession of Oracle. For more than two decades, Java has acquired a position<br \/>in the android development community by playing a huge part in the development<br \/>of various android applications. Java had a reputation that is indeed<br \/>undeniable but the need for an advanced programming language that can fill the<br \/>shortcomings and gaps left by Java paved the way for Kotlin to take the lead.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages of Java<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Java is easy to understand and it is a relatively<br \/>simpler language. The learning curve is pretty simple and short.<\/li>\n<li>For the development of cross-platform<br \/>applications, Java is the go-to language of many developers. Also, it works<br \/>very well for native applications.<\/li>\n<li>The applications that are built on Java are<br \/>compact and lightweight which leads to better user experience.<\/li>\n<li>Assembling and handling of projects that are<br \/>bigger becomes easier and simplified, credit goes to accelerated assembly it<br \/>has with Gradle.<\/li>\n<li>Due to its fast build process, Java allows you<br \/>to do more coding in less time.<\/li>\n<li>It is easier to understand and learn.<\/li>\n<li>Can be run it in a virtual machine or in a<br \/>browser window. It provides great help when you are reusing the code and<br \/>updating the software.<\/li>\n<li>Android is greatly reliant on Java. The Android<br \/>SDK is full of several Java libraries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disadvantages of Java<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The limitations in Java cause various problems<br \/>with the design of the Android API.<\/li>\n<li>Being a verbose language, it carries a greater<br \/>risk of bugs and errors as it requires more code writing.<\/li>\n<li>Java is slower as compared to various other<br \/>programming languages and requires more memory.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Cases of Java<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Some open-source applications that are written in Java are:<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>NewPipe: A lightweight android project that is<br \/>basically a video streaming application.<\/li>\n<li>WordPress Engineering: The official application<br \/>of WordPress developed for android. (The new features of these applications are<br \/>being developed in Kotlin but the code\u2019s core base is Java code.)<\/li>\n<li>Android-oss: Official android application of<br \/>kickstarter.com. It is a social platform that is basically developed for<br \/>collecting funds for projects that are creative.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Java vs Kotlin \u2013 In Terms of Performance<\/h4>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>There are no measurable and consistent differences between<br \/>these two programming languages when it comes to their comparison in terms of<br \/>performance. But the \u2018Kotlin<br \/>vs Java performance\u2019 debate is ongoing.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Kotlin is known for generating byte-code which is identical<br \/>to byte-code of Java. Therefore, these two are considered to be delivering a<br \/>similar performance.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The case is different when it comes to partial and full<br \/>builds.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Java is the faster programming language in the case of full<br \/>builds. It has a 13 percent faster rate of compilation as compared to Kotlin.<br \/>In the case of incremental compiling, Kotlin takes the lead.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>It can be said that Kotlin lags behind Java when it comes to<br \/>clean complete builds but surpasses Java when it comes to incremental builds.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Java vs Kotlin \u2013 The Syntax<\/h5>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Kotlin enables you to obtain more with lesser and compact<br \/>snippets of code in comparison to Java.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Kotlin uses smart extensions to avoid extensively used utils<br \/>classes. The function of the extension is a usual function that asks you for the<br \/>class\u2019s definition whose instances will be using the extension function.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Collins enables you to avoid the view-binding feature that<br \/>is messy, with the help of an Android Extension.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Kotlin allows you to avoid null pointer exceptions. It<br \/>eliminates the issues with the nullable\u2019 introduction in the data type system.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Kotlin is More Popular and Who Is Using It?<\/h5>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Kotlin<br \/>vs Java android is better and efficient at the performance. Kotlin is<br \/>being used everywhere Java was being used and sooner it will be used in more<br \/>places. Currently, it is greatly used for the development of android<br \/>applications because of Google\u2019s valuable support. Organizations are now<br \/>adopting Kotlin to stay more updated and competitive including Google,<br \/>Pinterest, Trello, Uber, Kickstarter, etc.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Kotlin vs Java<\/h5>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Java\u2019s first version was introduced 20 years ago. This is<br \/>why the language holds a reputation among all others. Kotlin is a modern<br \/>language that is able to support all the language design expertise that was<br \/>gained in previous years. It focuses on advanced features.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Developers are still looking for a more clear answer on \u2018Kotlin vs Java \u2013 Which is better\u2019?<br \/>But considering the fact that these two are similar in many ways, it is easier<br \/>to declare any one of them the winner.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Here are some benefits of Java vs Kotlin that can explain<br \/>how Kotlin can help you improve your business.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>It Is Concise<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>As compared to Java, Kotlin is concise in various cases. It<br \/>solves problems with few lines of code. This enhances the code\u2019s readability<br \/>and maintainability. Engineers can read, change, and write codes more<br \/>efficiently and effectively. Features like smart casts, classes, type<br \/>inference, and properties provide great help to achieve better conciseness.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>It Is Safer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Kotlin code, as compared to Java code, is safer. It helps to<br \/>avoid common mistakes of programming which leads to fewer chances of application<br \/>crashes and system failures. It is possible that while using Java, specific<br \/>error causes might occur repeatedly. Kotlin pushes developers to ponder over<br \/>problems with their coding and enables them to write strong and error-free<br \/>codes.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>It Is Better At Supporting Functional Programming<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Developers are allowed to solve various tasks with ease with<br \/>functional programming. Java 8 also offered this but Kotlin has leveled up the<br \/>game of functional programming. Kotlin enables developers to make use of<br \/>functional concepts more explicitly and concisely with proper function types.<br \/>Performance can also be improved through inlining that is not possible<br \/>currently in Java.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>It Speeds Up Everyday Tasks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Kotlin offers a number of features that come in handy and<br \/>facilitate development tasks of every day. This is what Java lacks. These<br \/>features involve object declarations, extension functions, default parameters,<br \/>and much more. They speed up the development process and help to keep the<br \/>codebase maintainable.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>It Reduces Bugs and Errors<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The Kotlin compiler runs checks many times and helps to<br \/>identify potential runtime errors and bugs in the first place. It helps to<br \/>reduce the effort and cost of error fixes.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Code Base\u2019s Quality and Appearance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Technical debt can be reduced to a certain extent by<br \/>switching to Kotlin. Technical debt is basically the dead weight carried by<br \/>developers because of opting for shortcuts in programming in order to complete<br \/>it before the deadline. It becomes the cause of reduced productivity and also<br \/>effects future development. Kotlin\u2019s code has fewer lines but it possesses high<br \/>quality because of fewer chances of errors. Few lines of code are easier to<br \/>maintain as compared to a longer code.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Developers\u2019 Favorite<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Kotlin is becoming developers\u2019 favorite as they are<br \/>satisfied with the performance of Kotlin and all the advanced features that it<br \/>has to offer. Developers are satisfied with their work because of easy-to-do<br \/>and easy-to-maintain coding with close to no room for errors. It helps them to<br \/>be more productive and efficient at their job.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Leveling Up the Skills<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Learning Kotlin can benefits engineers in various ways. Java<br \/>developers can learn and understand Kotlin very quickly. Kotlin\u2019s compiler and<br \/>language design make it extraordinary.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Support for Developers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The Kotlin community of developers is a supportive and<br \/>thriving community that is highly responsive so that developers can easily<br \/>connect with each other to share their expertise and ask questions relating to<br \/>their problems.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Why use<br \/>Kotlin vs Java? Well, Kotlin is being adopted rapidly and there are many<br \/>learning resources from where developers and engineers can learn and understand<br \/>more about the language. These sources include online courses, tutorials, books,<br \/>etc.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><b>FAQs<\/b><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does Kotlin compare to Java?<\/h6>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Java is a programming language that is object-oriented.<br \/>Application or programs developed using Java are executed in Java Virtual<br \/>Machine.
