Kotlin is a modern language that is statically typed within the JVM. It’s a multi-purpose, cross-platform, free and open-source language developed by JetBrains under the Apache 2.0 license. Kotlin has constructs for both Object Oriented and Functional programming styles (as well as mixed). It can be used for many types of development; web, server, and client, and mobile—using most Java IDEs.
