Kotlin is a statically-typed programming language that runs on the JVM. It is currently in development by JetBrains.
History
In July 19 2011 JetBrains unveiled project Kotlin as a new Statically Typed, Object Oriented Programming Language for JVM.[1]
Main goal of Kotlin is to provide better support for new language features that are missing in Java, basically making it a more powerful and compact language [2] and still being able to have all the IDE support like navigation and refactoring.
