Читать книгу Programming Kotlin Applications - Бретт Мак-Лахлин, Brett McLaughlin - Страница 15

Kotlin, when you boil it all down, is just another programming language. If you're programming and writing code already, you'll pick up Kotlin quickly, because it has a lot in common with what you're already doing. That's even more the case if you're programming in an object-oriented language, and if you're coding in Java, well, Kotlin is going to feel very familiar, although different in some very nice ways.

If you're new to Kotlin, though, it's a great first language. It's very clear, it doesn't have lots of odd idioms (like, for example, Ruby or, god help us all, LISP), and it's well organized. You'll pick it up fast and find yourself comfortable quite quickly.

In fact, Kotlin is so straightforward that we're going to put aside a lot of explanation and history for now, and instead jump right into looking at some basic Kotlin code (check out Listing 1.1).
