3. Agenda 1. Some background contexts 2. First line of Kotlin 3. Adoption process 4. Is it easy or not? 5. Lessons learnt 6. Where we are now? 7. Questions
4. Background contexts (facts) - Starting as MVP project in 5 months - All Java - “1-man project” - 1+ year since Kotlin official support from Google (May 2017)
5. First line of Kotlin (1) July 27, 2018
6. First line of Kotlin (2) July 27, 2018
7. Adoption - phase 1 - “the honeymoon” - Enjoy the language features: data class, extension functions, out-of-the-box lambda support, collection API, Null-safety!!!, immutability support - Bit by bit: testing code, data object - The brevity vs the verbosity - clear winner! - Introduce the language with weighted risks - like you are driving your car at 60 mph
8. Adoption - phase 2 - “spreading” - New components are written in Kotlin - Converting from Java to Kotlin is encouraged (but optional) - Supported by: code review process, pair-programming
9. Adoption - phase 3 - “acceleration” - First factor: New hire with Kotlin filter (Belarus team expanding) - Refactoring: - Convert from java to Kotlin become a mandatory - New components are written in Kotlin as always
10. Is it easy? 1. Java inter-ops capability 2. Rich API collections 3. Reading it in a similar style with Java 4. Functional concepts
11. Lessons learnt - Pair-programming sessions help the adoption become team-friendly and less stressful - Guild to share the knowledge - via Code Review, filling-water talks,
12. Where we are now?
13. Questions
