Kotlin is a cross-platform, statically typed, general-purpose programming language with type inference.

Kotlin is designed to interoperate fully with Java, and the JVM version of its standard library depends on the Java Class Library, but type inference allows its syntax to be more concise.

Kotlin mainly targets the JVM, but also compiles to JavaScript or native code (via LLVM).

Kotlin is sponsored by JetBrains and Google through the Kotlin Foundation.

Kotlin is officially supported by Google for mobile development on Android.

Since the release of Android Studio 3.0 in October 2017, Kotlin is included as an alternative to the standard Java compiler.

The Android Kotlin compiler lets the user choose between targeting Java 6 or Java 8 compatible bytecode.

Kotlin est un langage de programmation orienté objet et fonctionnel, avec un typage statique qui permet de compiler pour la machine virtuelle Java et JavaScript.

Il est développé par une équipe de programmeurs chez JetBrains, l’éditeur d’IntelliJ IDEA, l’environnement de développement intégré pour Java et sur lequel est basé Android Studio, l’EDI officiel pour développer les applications Android.
