insight In this series of posts I want to show you how Kotlin improved on the Java language, without going into too much of the added features. Just the features that enhance your (existing) Java code.

My experience
I introduced Kotlin at the start of my last project and began by modeling our domain classes in Kotlin. Later on we grew more confident in the use of Kotlin and found ways to put it to use in more functional classes like services, builders and test helpers.rnrnWhen I left the project team after 2.5 years members agreed with me that Kotlin greatly improved the code and that they would take this to other projects as well. I will too of course, using the posts in this series as proof/inspiration.
