What is Kotlin?

Kotlin is a modern but already mature programming language designed to make developers happier. It's concise, safe, interoperable with Java and other languages, and provides many ways to reuse code between multiple platforms for productive programming.

Kotlin is a statically typed programming language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). It can be compiled to JavaScript source code. But, it is not a language that compiles to native code. It is tailored for Java Virtual Machine and JavaScript. Kotlin is developed by JetBrains. The project started in 2010 and was open source from very early on. The first official 1.0 release was in February 2016. Kotlin is 100% interoperable with the Java programming language. You can use as little or as much of the language as you want. You can have a Kotlin file in a Java project and a Java file in a Kotlin project.
