Kotlin is a very nice language especially from the Android developer perspective. It&#x27;s so concise that you may not even use an IDE having only a text editor instead.<p>In addition to Anko, there is also a similar (but much smaller) library that I maintain - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;zserge&#x2F;anvil" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;zserge&#x2F;anvil</a><p>It is also a DSL for defining view layouts in code, much like Annko. The major difference is that Anvil supports data binding and has reactive nature (think of it as of react.js for android).
