OMG! you are writing imports manually. :P
@DebabrataAcharya93
pro tip: stay away from people who prefer POP over OOP while developing in android, you don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Seriously... lets analyse all points on this video: 1 - Easy to setup Java does not require setup... its already there by default 2 - Inter-operable with Java Not really an advantage to current state 3 - Reduces boilerplate code In my experience, a 200 lines of code in a Java activity, becomes 180. Is this difference worth for the added complexity of code maintenance? (will get into that later) 4 - Synthetic extension Isn't this the same as Android Annotations? 5 - Picking programming philosophy If you use this in company level, shouldn't you use something that everyone expect and understand? I mean, if you are working with android, aren't you expecting to work with OOP? I think will bring trouble in code maintenance. 6 - No more NPE NPE are a result of programmer mistakes. Are preventable but I do understand that Kotlin might be an advantage comparing to Java. 7 - No ; This is really not an advantage since Android Studio will show you a pretty red line if you don't. And really... how many times do you actually forget a ";"? 8 - No overheading on using Kotlin Not and advantage, just pointing that there is no inconvenient on using Kotlin. 9 - Plenty of support Certainly not better than an older language like Java. 10 - Learning new languages is a good thing I do 100% agreed with this argument but it is not a reason on why using Kotlin on Android. Conclusion I only believe that the only advantage might be the NPE protection but i don't think it is a reason enough to start using Kotlin in Android Development. IMO, Kotlin appeared because of business interest, not because it is better for developers. With Kotlin, Google can finally be free from Oracle. I do recommend developers doing the following experiment: 1 - Make 2 android activities with a simple layout, like a view, button and an onclick event. 2 - Make one in Kotlin and another in Java. 3 - Ask a non-programmer to tell you what the Kotlin code does and what the Java code does. 4 - Ask him which one was simpler to understand. My experience: Java is way more readable and easier to understand than Kotlin and, although I am not again new languages, I think Kotlin is not as good and people are painting it.

This video is weird. You go from talking about reducing boilerplate, to explaining what OOP is, to null pointers. It seems like yall couldn't decide whether or not this video was for noobs or programmers
@foadysfah
Having to go every day between Swift and Java (and back) made me instantly love Kotlin. It’s not a carbon copy of swift but takes out all the annoyances Java has. Good language I’m gonna invest some time in it and start writing all my Android code in Kotlin from the new year!
@Jaymoid
How did you get so knowledgeable about Kotlin, yet the pronunciation of the word has escaped you?
@MedyGames
After learning some beginner java , I can already see from these few points mentioned in the video that kotlin will make things alot easier. I will totally look into it. Also I can totaklly see that no one would want to go back to java.
@SuperEvenSteven
would like to see a follow-up video on the disadvantages of kotlin
@georgiivanov61
No ';' required? That alone makes it worth switching to Kotlin lol.
@HarshitKumar-lg1ol
It took me a while to understand that he said "null pointer exception". I was thinking what the hell is "no pointer exception" lol
@11wallace11
Seems like people missed the point of this video. He got a GPD Pocket! 1:56
@jacobt.murphy2379
The mispronunciation of kotlin in this video kills me.
@80amnesia
no way for me, Java for life.
@sadanandachaudhury2638
hey is that bluedio t2 turbine earphone that u are using in this video at 4:43
@Latitube
I have opposite opinion about no ';' required. There are already languages out there that do not require ';' but then the open source projects always recommend to end the line with ';' regardless because it enhance readability.
@PaceyPimp
yeah but what are the downsides?
@nathm1526
Sir, is it the case that Kotlin is restricted to Android development only? If not so..what are its other beneficial points and in what fields??
@shreyaswaghmare7690
3:55 is this true? I thought it incerases app size!
@hassanhameed5986
Do you think it is good choice for beginners who have no previous experience to start with Kotlin ?
