Engineering with Kotlin
What is Kotlin and why does SKN IT use it?
Kotlin is a modern, cross-platform, statically typed programming language that is now the officially preferred language for Android development.
Why Kotlin matters.
Kotlin was designed to be fully interoperable with Java while correcting many of its pain points. Since 2019, Google has declared it the primary choice for building high-quality Android applications, leading to safer, more concise, and more readable code bases.
Why SKN IT chooses Kotlin
We utilize Kotlin for native Android projects where performance and full access to the Android platform are paramount. Its modern features allow our developers to write fewer lines of code while building more robust apps for our enterprise clients.
Core Benefits
Google's Choice
Official first-class support for all Android features.
Null Safety
Eliminates a whole category of common application crashes.
Interoperability
Seamlessly works with existing Java libraries.
Concise Code
Less boilerplate leads to fewer bugs and faster maintenance.
Common Questions
Technical and business considerations for Kotlin projects.
Can Kotlin be used for things other than Android?
Yes. Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) is rapidly growing, allowing us to share business logic between Android, iOS, and Web while keeping the UI native.
