Kotlin at Shivacha
Modern language for native Android apps and JVM services.
Overview
Kotlin is the preferred language for Android development and also runs on the JVM for backend services. We use it for native Android apps with deep platform integration and occasionally for server-side services.
Why we use it
- Native Android performance
- Concise and safe
- Coroutines for async
- JVM interoperability
