		driver733 on Dec 16, 2019 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Kotlin vs. Java My goal is to compare Kotlin with the current version of Java along with any Java libs that are commonly used (such as Lombok). I have mentioned the fact that some teams are still on older versions of Java just to highlight that not every developer can access the features of the latest Java release.

Unless it's Android, if they can't access the latest features of Java they more than likely can't access the latest features of Kotlin either.

That's not always the case, since Kotlin can generate Java 6 compatible bytecode.
