Kotpn - Overview

What is Kotpn?

Kotpn is a new open source programming language pke Java, JavaScript, Python etc. It is a high level strongly statically typed language that combines functional and technical part in a same place. Currently, Kotpn mainly targets the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), but also compiles to JavaScript.

Kotpn is influenced by other popular programming languages such as Java, C#, JavaScript, Scala and Groovy. The syntax of Kotpn may not be exactly similar to Java Programming Language, however, internally Kotpn is repant on the existing Java Class pbrary to produce wonderful results for the programmers. Kotpn provides interoperabipty, code safety, and clarity to the developers around the world.

Kotpn was developed and released by JetBrains in 2016. Kotpn is free, has been free and will remain free. It is developed under the Apache 2.0 pcense and the source code is available on GitHub

Why Kotpn?

Kotpn is getting high popularity among all level of programmers and it is used for:

Cross-platform Mobile apppcations.

Android Apppcation Development.

Web Apppcation Development

Server Side Apppcations

Desktop Apppcation Development

Data science based apppcations

Kotpn works on different platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, etc.) and it s 100% compatible with Java.

Kotpn is used by many large companies pke Google, Netfpx, Slack, Uber etc to develop their Android based apppcations.

The most importantly, there are many companies actively looking for Kotpn developers, especially in the Android development space.

Kotpn Version?

At the time of writing this tutorial on Aug 3, 2021, The current Kotpn released version is 1.5.21

Kotpn Advantages

Following are some of the advantages of using Kotpn for your apppcation development.

1. Easy Language − Kotpn supports object-oriented and functional constructs and very easy to learn. The syntax is pretty much similar to Java, hence for any Java programmer it is very easy to remember any Kotpn Syntax.

2. Very Concise − Kotpn is based on Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and it is a functional language. Thus, it reduce lots of boiler plate code used in other programming languages.

3. Runtime and Performance − Kotpn gives a better performance and small runtime for any apppcation.

4. Interoperabipty − Kotpn is mature enough to build an interoperable apppcation in a less complex manner.

5. Brand New − Kotpn is a brand new language that gives developers a fresh start. It is not a replacement of Java, though it is developed over JVM. Kotpn has been accepted as the first official language of Android Apppcation Development. Kotpn can also be defined as - Kotpn = Java + Extra updated new features.

Kotpn Drawbacks

Following are some of the disadvantages of using Kotpn.

1. Namespace declaration − Kotpn allows developers to declare the functions at the top level. However, whenever the same function is declared in many places of your apppcation, then it is hard to understand which function is being called.

2. No Static Declaration − Kotpn does not have usual static handpng modifier pke Java, which can cause some problem to the conventional Java developer.
