what is kotlin

Kotlin is a statically typed, general-purpose high-level programming language with type inference). It is designed to interoperate fully with Java, and the JVM version of Kotlins standard library depends on the Java Class Library, but type inference allows its syntax to be more concise). Kotlin is a cross-platform language that can be used for server-side development, web applications, and Android app development). Kotlin is interoperable with Java, meaning that it can be used in conjunction with Java and can call into Java code. Kotlin is open-source and managed by the Kotlin Foundation, a group created by JetBrains and Google, that is tasked with advancing and continuing development of the language. Kotlin has a growing global community with many contributors and a wide range of community libraries.
