Kotlin is more than a programming language; it is light itself. But unironically. It's an alternative JVM language that lifts some of the best parts of Scala (and/or C#) and grafts them onto Java, while removing/working around a lot of Java's bullshit boilerplate and gotchas.
It's primarily used for Android development, but it's not strictly for Android. I've used it for developing Spring webservices, for example.
Hey, working with Kotlin made me want to stay in software development. Not working with Kotlin has made me want to go off the grid and never touch a software project ever again, but that could be the niche vendor lock-in dumpster fire that I've been stuck with ever since. :a-guy:
