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.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!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?
