Kotlin

Started Kotlin at my current job, coming from .NET. I'm impressed by Kotlin!

It really is an awesome language! I actually dont use it at work, but I've been learning it.

May I ask how your company uses it at work (not saying give exact company details, but a high level)?
Do you use it for web apps or Android?
Are any of your Devs migrating to it from Java?
Why are you moving to it from .NET?

It's a Healthcare app that companies use for their employees. They do the backend in kotlin and then write native apps for the mobile apps as well as have a website.

I thought I'd change up stacks when leaving my last job. It let me learn alot of new things.

The language itself certainly has a nice appeal, but I just don't like the JVM and inheritance styled OOP... it's personal... haha
