“It’s the Era of Apps and Android!”

“With Java in the market…why to worry about…“

“Wait…Wait…Hold on! Are you still…DON’T TELL ME!!!”

“Seriously!!! Don’t tell me you’re still writing Android Apps in Java!!” 🤯😳

Remember when Kotlin was introduced as a supported language for Android? Google supported back then in 2017 itself, in its Android Studio IDE. Given the very fact that for all these years, Java has been crowned as the KING as it was the only Preferred Language for Android App Development… it really is kind of amazing to see that Kotlin has grown rapidly in these 2 years that Google, just like that, officially announced this in May 2019!!!

Google has officially announced that Kotlin is their preferred official language for Android App developing. It wasn’t just an announcement but more like a command from Google for the Android App developers!

Yep! If you are not worried about the investment made in Java and is ready to make an investment towards the new and trending Kotlin…well, then Kotlin is your only option to choose!

Kotlin is ON!!! Kotlin is just….accelerating…and there’s no stopping!

What was the result of the announcement?
