The official Kotlin documentation says Kotlin pioneered in 2016. A year later, at Google I/O 2017, Google announced first-class support for Kotlin on Android. In 2017, I was in Year 2 of my 3-year University Program – a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science. While Kotlin was being unveiled to the world, my class was being introduced to Java – an Object Oriented Programming Language that was so big and wide we studied it in two phases, one for each semester that year. Even then, our course moderator made sure to let us know we’d only scratched the surface of Java.
