Google is going Kotlin first, and Kotlin will be the most used language in Android development. All the new add-ons and plugins will first be developed in Kotlin
Whenever someone speaks of Android development, the first thing that comes to my mind is Java. Android development with Java has to be a tradition from the time Android in Alpha stage, but in 2018 Google announced that Kotlin will be the official language for Android development.
At least developers had the freedom to choose between languages like Python, Java, and Kotlin. Now in Google I/O 2019, Google announced that it will be going Kotlin first and that was the point when everyone got to know that Android development with Java is coming to end. So many developers have taken a turn to Kotlin and started to transfer the code of their apps in Kotlin.
Well, if you still think Java is much better than Kotlin, believe me, No, you can check for yourself. Google is going Kotlin first, and Kotlin will be the most used language in Android development. All the new add-ons and plugins will first be developed in Kotlin. While that is not a big problem, developers must understand that slowly Google will remove the support for Kotlin for all levels. So better now then never.
Moving to Kotlin also has its oven advantages. Kotlin means less code and easy coding. Kotlin is not as complicated as Java and Kotlin are more easy to understand than Java. The learning curve for Kotlin is very low. You can learn Kotlin just in 5-6 hours if you are consistent with Java.
The official documentation of Kotlin is very neatly documented by IntelliJ and you won't have problems while learning Kotlin. You also youtube tutorials, tons of websites providing Kotlin guide, Official Video tutorial by Google itself. Kotlin developers community at Stack Over is also increasing and many people have enjoyed Kotlin more than Java. So better get started with Kotlin before you have to force yourself at Kotlin.
