Kotlin Development Company

Developed by JetBrains and released in 2011, Kotlin was initially introduced as a replacement for Java. But the language has come a long way since then. In 2017, Google adopted Kotlin as the official Android programming language. Fully interoperable with Java, Kotlin has skyrocketed in popularity and become a notable language in its own right — which is why so many businesses are turning to Kotlin development services today.

What can Kotlin bing to a business’ products and services? Let’s take a closer look.

Benefits of Kotlin for Software Development
(With BairesDev)

Compatibility with Java

Kotlin is completely compatible with Java, which makes it simple to call up code from either language, migrate code, and convert the various components with ease. But Kotlin isn’t just compatible with Java — in fact, Kotlin boasts faster development than its counterpart language, along with other qualities. It’s also not just a replacement language for Java with some added features — it is a thriving, robust language in its own right that can often be used in place of the older language.
Ease of Use

Kotlin is easy to learn, understand, use, and work with. This makes development simple for BairesDev developers, who already have vast knowledge and expertise using Kotlin, Java, and other languages. It is also a concise language that significantly reduces the amount of code needed for the project, which streamlines your initiatives.
Faster Development

Less code means much faster development, greater productivity, and efficiency. It also reduces the number of errors and makes resolving problems that do occur much easier and quicker. Together, these qualities mean an overall speedy development process, allowing you to reach market that much more quickly.

What is Kotlin App Development?

Kotlin app development is a quick, user-friendly process that boosts code safety, developer and client satisfaction, and productivity.

Kotlin’s modern language features allow you to write unique, expressive code. Just one of the many reasons why Kotlin has become so popular is that it is a much more concise, simple language than Java. As a Kotlin app development company, you can do more with less. With Kotlin, things like the constant repetition of substantiating variables is no more. For example, in Java, you might have to write:

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

Whereas, with Kotlin, that becomes:

val sb = StringBuilder()

Not only are you doing more with less, but you are also saving considerable time by not having to create cumbersome, repetitive code. As your projects continue to scale, this will be more and more noticeable.

Another benefit of Kotlin is that it relaxed the requirement that functions be class members. Instead, functions can be declared at the top level in a file, locally inside other functions, as a member function within a class or object, or as an extension function. This new flexibility makes Java look fairly rigid.

What is Kotlin Used For?

Kotlin can be used anywhere that Java can be used. As the official Android language, it is largely used to build Android apps, but it can also be leveraged for server-side programming, web development, cross-platform development, and data science programs.

Advantages of Kotlin

Kotlin offers a number of key advantages, such as:

Easy to learn and understand syntax and language
Safety and fewer instances of bugs
Multiple use cases
Multi-platform development
Compatability with Java
Reliability
Easy maintenance
Greater productivity
A large, growing, dedicated community

Disadvantages of Kotlin

At the same time, there are some notable disadvantages to using Kotlin:

No static modifier
Slow compilation speed
Fewer Kotlin developers available, given the language’s relative youth
Enjoys less support than Java

Frequently Asked Questions

How does outsourcing to a Kotlin development company work?

When you outsource Kotlin development to an external company, you are entrusting them with an entire project or components of a project. There are several different models you can turn to, such as staff augmentation, meaning the partner’s developers will work together with your in-house team. There is also the dedicated team model, through which the partner team will complete the project from start to finish.

The processes vary according to the model, your requirements, the partner companies, and other factors, but generally speaking, outsourcing means partnering with a qualified provider to bring your tech projects — in this case, Kotlin products — to fruition.

Can I hire Kotlin developers on a full-time basis?

It is certainly possible to hire Kotlin developers on a full-time basis for Android development and other needs. Businesses should weigh the pros and cons of outsourcing or hiring freelancers vs. working with full-time Kotlin professionals before determining the best approach to working with these developers and other tech talent.

What kind of applications can you build using Kotlin?

Kotlin is mainly used to build Android applications, although there are other ways to use the language as well, such as for server-side development and data science products. This is a versatile language with plenty of use cases. Just some examples of the many famous Kotlin apps include Coursera, Duolingo, Netflix, Pinterest, Postmates, Slack, Square, and Trello.

What is the difference between Kotlin and Java?

Java can do a great job in Android development and can be a perfect choice, especially in the hands of seasoned developers. When the time comes to make that language switch, Java development companies won’t have that much difficulty, as Kotlin is intertwined with Java in some sense.

Time will tell if Kotlin will become the dominant force it appears to be. In the meantime, it’s already setting new standards and methodologies for Android development, which, for better or worse, will require developers to learn to stay current and up-to-date.
