Kotlin IS IT A THING?

GREAT AT ANDROID!

“She turned to the sunlight And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbor: "Winter is dead.” - A.A. MILNE, When We Were Very Young https://spring.io/blog/2016/02/15/developing-spring-boot-applications-with-kotlin

Kotlin/js

INSTALL KOTLIN brew install kotlin

Let’s create HelloKotlin.kt fun main(args: Array<String>) { println("Hello JavaScript!") }

Let’s compile it to javascript kotlinc-js -output out/sample-library.js -meta-info HelloKotlin.kt

Let’s compile transpile it to javascript kotlinc-js -output out/sample-library.js -meta-info HelloKotlin.kt

GENERATED CONTENT *.META.JS - METAINFORMATION FOR REFLECTION

if (typeof kotlin === 'undefined') { throw new Error(“Error loading
module …”); } this['sample-library'] = function (_, Kotlin) { 'use strict'; var println = Kotlin.kotlin.io.println_s8jyv4$; function main(args) { println('Hello JavaScript!'); } _.main_kand9s$ = main; Kotlin.defineModule('sample-library', _); main([]); return _; }(typeof this['sample-library'] === 'undefined' ? {} : this['sample-library'], kotlin);

Running with GRADLE buildscript { ext.kotlin_version = '1.1.1' repositories {
mavenCentral() } dependencies { classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version" } } apply plugin: 'kotlin2js' repositories { mavenCentral() } dependencies { compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-js:$kotlin_version" }

ALL LANGUAGE FEATURES IN KOTLIN 1.1 WORKS IN JavaScript!

ALL JS LIBRARIES ARE AVAILABLE IN KOTLIN! Use ts2kt to
convert type deﬁnitions http://definitelytyped.org
