Shodan4987yWhy not just do it in Java then? They're interoperable...you're not gonna learn the language nor get any extra benefit just by auto-converting it, are you? (honest question)

@Shodan I was just, idk, Happy? That I Can try Kotlin, but Im swotching to IntelliJ IDEA because Im having still lot of issues with Android Studio. So yea, going back to Java
Btw, welcome to devRant! 😃 -
Shodan4987y@ttomovcik Thanks :) I asked the question because I might be starting to learn Kotlin soon and I have no desire to go back to Java (been coding C# for a few years now), so I was wondering if it was worth it as they make it sound. Good luck with your apps!

Kotlin is the shit folks. Give it a week to get over some of the weird syntax like inline constructors, but holy hell is it worth it once you get into it. A piece of advice though; convert your data/entity classes to Kotlin first, otherwise all those nullable fields are going to break your non null Kotlin codebase.

Just switched to Kotlin.. For the first like 10 minutes I was like "What is this shit?!" and then I found Java to Kotlin converter and docs. Yay! Looks like it´s not gonna be that hard to do some apps in it.. Hopefully
