Hire Kotlin developers for your projects

Kotlin is a general-purpose, statistically typed open-source programming language that was developed by JetBrains in 2011.  Kotlin offers object-oriented and functional programming language features.

Kotlin primarily targets the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and also compiles to JavaScript. It is widely considered as an enhanced variant of Java. Kotlin fully interoperates with Java, which means that all Java-based frameworks and libraries are compatible with Kotlin.

Kotlin is supported by Google, and in 2017, Google declared it as the preferred language for Android app development. 

Java contains a lot of redundancy, which leads to longer code. In contrast, Kotlin focuses on avoiding the repetitive “boilerplate” code. Kotlin is packed with several features that reduce the code's length and complexity to achieve the desired result.

While Java only supports object-oriented programming, Kotlin supports object-oriented programming as well as functional programming. This makes Kotlin’s code comparatively concise. Unlike Java developers, Kotlin developers don’t need to endure the hassle of finding or declaring exceptions. This results in a robust code along with proper error handling.

Lastly, Kotlin has better Android development support than Java. Features such as null safety and Android extensions make the Android app development process much easier. 

Hiring Kotlin developers is easy with SkillDB. We present a large pool of Kotlin experts from reputable Kotlin development companies. You can shortlist your ideal candidates based on metrics such as their past work experience, projects, skillset, and years of experience. You can find all these details in the profile section of the talent. 

These are the skills that you should look for when you hire Kotlin developers:

• Well-versed with Java and Kotlin programming language.
• Knowledge of Kotlin web frameworks like Javalin, Ktor, Spark, and Springboot.
• Hands-on experience in Android app development. 
• Sound knowledge of design fundamentals, architecture principles, and app lifecycle. 
• Familiarity with RESTful APIs as well as XML to integrate the app with the backend.

Popular apps such as Pinterest, Evernote, Uber, and Trello are made using Kotlin. Here are the benefits of using Kotlin for your projects:

• Kotlin is filled with features that make it convenient for Kotlin programmers. For example, null safety feature helps in reducing problems associated with null references.
• Kotlin is 100% interoperable with Java. This allows you to convert the Java files to Kotlin files simply with a script. It is also compatible with JVM and JavaScript libraries. 
• Kotlin language provides cross-platform support. It helps in faster development as you don’t need to maintain separate codes for different platforms. 
• It is flexible as it allows Kotlin developers to carry out object-oriented programming as well as functional programming. 
• As Kotlin uses fewer lines of code than its counterparts like Java, which reduces the overall development time.
