"It’s clear: Java (on Android) is dying," the Realm team

explains. "In fact, 20% of apps built with Java before Google I/O are now being built in Kotlin. Kotlin may even change how Java is used on the server, too."

Kotlin is to replace Java as of December 2018

"In short, Android developers without Kotlin skills are at risk of being seen as dinosaurs very soon," Realm experts add.

Java for a long time has been the programming language of Android, which is the world's largest platform(Both mobile and PC). This caused some legal issues with the creators of Java, Oracle. They since have sued Google and have demanded to take a cut of profit from Android. So, Google has decided to switch languages. The thought hasn't been recent, in the year 2016 they were debating on changing it to Dart(Google's own programming language) or to Swift(Apple's take on modern OO-C Programming). They settled on Kotlin as it can interpret Java and has a similar syntax yet runs faster and works more efficiently for a mobile platform. What do you think about Google's massive switch on the world's largest OS from being Java to Kotlin?
