The Kotlin Foundation
A question for HN - I like Java a lot for the ‘http API talking to SQL database’ usecase, with my goto for that being dropwizard or spring boot.<p>I’ve only ever looked at Kotlin code in blogposts, haven’t ever actually used it. I’m probably at least a few years behind on its feature set, but I am aware of all the great features Java has added in that timeframe, many no doubt inspired by Kotlin!<p>Would you advise me to use Kotlin over Java building a new API from scratch in 2021, given where both languages and ecosystems are today? Why or why not?
