Tips and tricks for adopting Kotlin

Kotlin is the new cool kid in town, but there is not a lot of information out there on the process of adopting it as a company.
In this talk we are going to show why and how we started using Kotlin in N26, focusing on a service written from scratch by the Barcelona team, and discussing some of the lessons learned in the process.
At the end we are going to close with a quick 5 step guide on how your Kotlin migration can be successful and a Q&A.
