Codetown ::: a software developer's community
Interested in Kotlin? Are you a practitioner?
Kotlin is a statically typed language that runs on JVM that may compile to JavaScript source code or use the LLVM compiler infrastructure. Since then, it’s grown exponentially in popularity. In 2017, Google officially backed Kotlin as the official language for Android.
And that's just the beginning! Join us here at Kotlin Town and be a part of the evolution of this exciting new language.
