These habits represent an obstacle to completing your evolution as a Kotlin developer. If you, like me, have been a Java developer for many years, you probably have many ingrained habits which make it difficult to switch to a new language.

This article is for Java developers who are trying to get into the Kotlin language. It has some differences that make our lives easier, which means developers need to evolve.

This is a paradigm shift for Java developers, even though Kotlin takes many characteristics from Java. So, it’s not hard to imagine that many Java developers switch to Kotlin out of necessity rather than for pleasure. Kotlin was created in 2011 by Jetbrains and has replaced Java as the official programming language for Android. We might say that Kotlin is an evolution of Java, a new species. We can see this occurring with Kotlin and Java. We create new languages based on older ones, and then we replace the older ones. And we are the reason why these things changed we make them evolve to make our lives easier. Nowadays, we also apply this concept to all the artificial stuff developed by us. It’s something that applies to all species, including human beings. For example, dogs evolved from wolves to get easy access to food. Species evolve to adapt to their environments. Evolution: we could say that it’s the act of change to fit with the environment.
