Excellent tool support and interoperability with Java, Objective C and now Swift act as invaluable hacks for Kotlin programmers. Google’s support and availability of Android Studio for Kotlin have further counterbalanced app development across platforms. This excerpt discusses various features required to leverage Swift knowledge to learn Kotlin, highlighting the similarities and differences between both programming languages. Get a load of Swift code examples and simultaneously walk through towards coding Kotlin equivalents providing an opportunity for developers to get hands-on-experience using their iOS knowledge to construct an Android UI.
Along with some of the parallels like easy syntax, interoperability across platforms, the inheritance of object-oriented features, regular upgrades and less coding; there are some differences between the two languages in a context that drove them apart.
