Kotlin is a modern, statically typed programming language by JetBrains designed for the JVM, Android, native platforms and multiplatform development. It combines expressive syntax, strong Java interoperability and a comprehensive standard library. Kotlin enables productive, safe code and supports coroutine-based concurrency.

Kotlin is a statically typed programming language by JetBrains that runs on the JVM among other targets and interoperates with Java.
Kotlin grew at JetBrains from a desire for a more concise and safe language for the Java ecosystem. The company introduced Kotlin in 2011; the language was officially released in 2016 and later recommended by Google for Android.
The compiler checks types and produces JVM, JavaScript, or Native code depending on the target. Null safety, extension functions, data classes, and coroutines move many decisions into language and libraries.
Kotlin can directly use Java code and libraries.
The type system exposes many null accesses early.
They structure concurrent and asynchronous flows.
Kotlin fits JVM backends, Android, and multiplatform applications. Target platform, Java compatibility, coroutines, and team conventions should be clarified before adoption.
