At JetBrains, we focus on productivity. We try and eliminate busy-work and let developers focus on code, on trying to solve the problems they are meant to solve. We've done this successfully for over a decade by bringing out an array of award-winning tools. During this time we've worked extensively with Java and a slew of other languages and understood the problems, the shortcomings and the issues in all these languages. Our experience has given birth to Kotlin: An Open Source language that is fully compatible with JVM and compiles down to Java bytecode and JavaScript. The best part is, you don't have to throw the baby out with the bath water to use Kotlin. Join us and find out more!

Level: Beginners
