Exploring Experiences with Kotlin in Software Engineering

Three individuals working in software engineering share their journeys with Kotlin, discussing its impact on their work ranging from Kotlin multi-platform efforts at Square to developing static code analyzers and Android engineering at GoDaddy Studio. The chapter features insights from Android developers at Atlassian and American Express who have been using Kotlin since its early days, expressing enthusiasm for its modern features and simplicity compared to other languages like Scala, and discussing adoption journeys starting from early encounters at conferences and through team collaboration.
