Kotlin

I started using Kotlin in 2020. At the time, I was moving away from Java for Android and PHP for backend work, switching to Kotlin for both.

Like many Java developers, I found Kotlin a bit weird at first and didn't really like it. But as time went by, I completely changed my mind. Now, it's hard to imagine going back to Java or PHP for my own projects.

A few things made the difference for me: the Multiplatform philosophy, how coroutines simplify concurrency, and small features like extension functions. Kotlin's elegance even changed how I think about code structure and software design.

It's been almost six years now, and every article I've written so far has been about Kotlin. I might write about other languages in the future, but Kotlin is definitely the language that helped me grow the most as a developer.
