The programming language after Kotlin – with the creator of Kotlin

  1. Kotlin ra đời do Java trì trệ trong 6 năm (2004-2010) với ít thay đổi ngôn ngữ.
  2. Phiên bản đầu tiên của Kotlin là một plugin cho IDE, cho phép demo ngôn ngữ trước khi có khả năng biên dịch.
  3. Đội ngũ ban đầu của Kotlin chủ yếu là sinh viên tốt nghiệp mới, nhiều người sau đó trở thành những đóng góp chính trong dự án.
  4. Kotlin sử dụng một mẹo phân tích cú pháp từ C# để giữ dấu ngoặc cho các loại tổng quát, giải quyết vấn đề bất khả thi về ngữ pháp.
  5. Tính năng smart casts trong Kotlin được lấy cảm hứng từ ngôn ngữ Gosu, tự động xử lý các kiểu dữ liệu mà không cần khai báo lại.
  6. Việc loại bỏ toán tử tam thức là tiếc nuối lớn nhất của Andrey; điều này gây ra sự phức tạp trong cú pháp.
  7. Hỗ trợ Android cho Kotlin là kết quả tình cờ khi một nhà phát triển Android hỏi liệu Kotlin có hoạt động trên Android không.
