Beyond The Success Of Kotlin / The Documentary by EngX

Almost 15 years ago, a small engineering team at JetBrains embarked on what seemed like a crazy endeavor — to create their own programming language and succeed with it. In the early 2010s, Java was one of the most popular languages, used by millions of engineers. However, it had not received any major updates for several years, and it lacked new features. Developers were looking for a new solution. Many engineers attempted to provide an alternative to Java by creating new JVM languages. It was a brief window of opportunity to create a tool that would impact the entire industry. This is how the story of Kotlin began. What led to the success of Kotlin, and what were the costs to earn its spot in the industry? In this documentary, you will hear the story from the source. 👉 Course “AI-Assisted Engineering for Kotlin Developers“: 👉 EngX Community: CREDITS Film by EngX: the place where engineers meet excellence.
