Despite only being around for 13 years, Kotlin has made quite a splash. Attracting large companies to adopt it as their primary programming language, getting Google on side to crown it the official Android app language and taking on the established giants such as Java.
That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s no surprise that an increasing number of companies are making the move to Kotlin for their development needs. But is it a passing trend or will we see more companies making the move?
<h3>What makes Kotlin so great?</h3>
When it comes to Android app development there&rsquo;s no doubting that Kotlin is the golden child. It&rsquo;s easy to use, reduces errors, and has a huge community of support so it&rsquo;s easy to understand why it&rsquo;s had such a boost in popularity. (If you want to dig deeper into Kotlin&rsquo;s functionality check out our previous blog.)
What&rsquo;s clear is that Kotlin has firmly established itself as the language of choice for Android app development, and is starting to spread its wings even further.
<h3>Who&rsquo;s made the switch already?</h3>
A whole myriad of companies have already made the switch, with Google explaining their support for Kotlin is because it&rsquo;s more efficient, produces safer code and is 100% interoperable with Java. Not only that but back in May 2017 it announced Kotlin as the official Android development app.
Since then multinational companies such as Netflix, Uber, Twitter, Pinterest and Trello have all switched to Kotlin. At the end of 2022 it was announced that Meta is moving its Android apps away from Java to Kotlin. Their move isn&rsquo;t a small one, with thousands of developers and a multi-year effort to convert their apps. The scale of Meta is a milestone for Kotlin and could be the start of even more companies choosing to shift allegiances.
<h3>Why switch and what are the alternatives?</h3>
With the rise of mobile first technology it&rsquo;s no surprise that many businesses are prioritising mobile and app development. Kickstarter and Uber migrated to Kotlin for that very reason.&nbsp;
The second reason why bigger companies are deflecting to Kotlin is for its flexibility. Both Evernote and Trello cited its adaptability and flexibility as primary reasons for switching to Kotlin for their development needs.&nbsp;
Its scalability, stability, security and overall performance often trump Java and are a real draw for many when evaluating their programming languages.
For the most part when evaluating which language to use, it comes down to Kotlin vs Java. Both are strong contenders and both have their advantages and disadvantages. But there&rsquo;s a definite shift away from Java with more businesses embracing the flexible, speedy nature of Kotlin.
Let&rsquo;s take a look at why that might be.
<h4>Java</h4>
A highly established programming language, Java has history. It works on pretty much any device, operating system and server as well as JVM. It&rsquo;s packed with features, experience and ways of working that just make sense.&nbsp;
● &nbsp; &nbsp;It&rsquo;s open source ● &nbsp; &nbsp;It&rsquo;s community driven ● &nbsp; &nbsp;It&rsquo;s easy to learn ● &nbsp; &nbsp;It&rsquo;s statically typed ● &nbsp; &nbsp;It&rsquo;s object-orientated ● &nbsp; &nbsp;It supports functional programming
And that&rsquo;s just some of its advantages. But for some that&rsquo;s no longer enough.
Compared to Kotlin, Java&rsquo;s coding is lengthy. What Kotlin can do in a line of code might take a paragraph in Java. The succinct nature of Kotlin, and the knock-on benefits of being more productive and quicker are definite draws compared to sticking with Java.
What&rsquo;s more Kotlin&rsquo;s null safety requires you to explicitly define whether a variable can be null. Preventing &ldquo;the Billion dollar mistake&rdquo;. You never can be too careful.&nbsp;
Will Kotlin replace Java? Never say never but it&rsquo;s highly unlikely. There will always be those that prefer the breadth of Java, particularly when it comes to general-purpose programming where Java is still ahead of Kotlin.
<h3>What&rsquo;s the future for Kotlin?</h3>
Any change in technology isn&rsquo;t a decision taken lightly by a business. Switching programming language has to have clear business benefits and make life easier. Since Google&rsquo;s partnership with Kotlin in 2017 it&rsquo;s obvious that Kotlin has a strong future, and it&rsquo;s got the backing to grow even further.&nbsp;
The future is bright for Kotlin, with such influential backing and a strong developer community, this agile language is sure to attract more users and challenge Java for its top programming language crown.
Are you ready to empower your development team with Kotlin? Unlock productivity, code maintainability, and scalability by adopting Kotlin as your go-to programming language. By embracing Kotlin early on, you position your company at the forefront of technology, attracting top talent and demonstrating your commitment to innovation.

Why companies are switching to Kotlin for their development

Kotlin has increased in popularity over a relatively short time period. But it&rsquo;s not the only programming language around. And with other languages more established, more robust and maybe better suited to backend development, can Kotlin really stack up?
<h3>Why is Kotlin rated so highly?</h3>
With demonstrable success being used in front-end development it&rsquo;s only natural that the shift to backend development will happen. It&rsquo;s short and easy to maintain code makes it a friendlier language for developers.&nbsp;
But where it really shines is its compatibility with Java, meaning you can create additional functions in Kotlin within Java code. This interoperability gives developers access to Kotlin features and speed but Java libraries creating a whole world of potential.&nbsp;
Its null safety, one of the biggest issues in Java, means Kotlin has created a powerful feature that developers will be thankful for time and time again.&nbsp;
As the new kid on the block, Kotlin takes a fresh approach to backend development and what it lacks in power or speed it more than makes up for in productivity and time savings.
<h3>What other options are there for backend development?</h3>
When it comes to languages for backend development you can take your pick. With around 10 options, each with their own pros and cons, it can be tricky to make sure you&rsquo;re selecting the best language for the job.&nbsp;
Let&rsquo;s take a look at the most popular alternatives.
<h4>Java</h4>
As the second most used backend technology today, Java is a force to be reckoned with. It&rsquo;s features make it the language of choice for many developers and it&rsquo;s commonly used for creating mobile apps.&nbsp;
But its hardware requirements make it expensive and it can be a labour of love. There are definite positives to Java - it&rsquo;s multiple threads, open source libraries and high security but it&rsquo;s not all roses.
<h4>Ruby</h4>
Used by global companies such as Airbnb, Shopify and Etsy to manage backend tasks this highly flexible and scalable coding language is a popular choice. With external libraries, meta programming and with quality testing tools it&rsquo;s also a robust language.
It&rsquo;s not all roses though. Debugging Ruby can take time and many report its runtime is sluggish compared to other languages.
<h4>PHP</h4>
Easy to use and easy to integrate, it&rsquo;s an oldie but a classic. With new development frameworks, &nbsp;codebases and an active community it&rsquo;s easy to see why PHP makes the cut. Without the online libraries of newer languages it&rsquo;s more time consuming and requires a greater level of knowledge. It&rsquo;s also open source based which raises the risk of substandard coding.
<h4>C#</h4>
One of, if not the most, prevalent language for backend development. With a reputation for running code faster than its competitors, it&rsquo;s a strong choice for game development platforms and command-line interface tools.&nbsp;
It&rsquo;s main drawback? It can only run on Windows OS, limiting its use. But it is compatible with older frameworks, making it a handy language to have in your arsenal.
<h4>Python</h4>
Often complimented for its neat and readable code, Python is a great option for writing scripts to execute backend functions. With its coding syntaxes reading more like English than its counterparts, it&rsquo;s an easy language to learn and to read. Helped, in part, by the vast online Python libraries where you can find ready-made codes for basic development tasks.&nbsp;
Free to download, able to support IoT functions there are many reasons why Python is a strong contender for backend development.
<h4>C++</h4>
The ability to code all operating systems is what makes C++ different. This low level programming language can communicate directly with embedded hardware devices making C++ a valid option for creating multi-platform apps. This direct communication with embedded hardware is a blessing and a curse as it means a malicious coder can create an exploit that causes a malfunction.&nbsp;
<h4>JavaScript</h4>
The most well known, and prominent programming language. Allowing both the backend and frontend coding, it allows mobile and web apps to be developed far quicker. Due to this it can also be more cost-efficient. Since JavaScript is open-sourced, there are always improvements to the tech making it a flexible programming language.
JavaScript backend developers can find the workability of middlewares confusing and the procedure for using MySQL is complex. But there&rsquo;s a reason that JavaScript has remained the most popular programming language across the last 10 years.
<h3>Which language is best for backend development?</h3>
This is one of those questions that you&rsquo;re never going to get a cohesive answer on. The best language is the one that&rsquo;s right for the project, your knowledge and the objective. But that being said there are definite advantages of Kotlin over the other languages.
With its null safety, compatibility with all Java written frameworks, functional programming and concise syntax Kotlin is a robust, easy to use option that can create a smooth backend development process.

Kotlin for Backend Development: How it Compares to Other Languages

Switzerland. The land of chocolate, cheese and mountains, but also a thriving hub of tech and innovation.&nbsp;
With a highly-skilled workforce, a stable political system, and both venture capital and R&amp;D investment Switzerland is a melting point of ideas and development. But with so many opportunities there comes a risk that the talent pool won&rsquo;t be able to keep up with demand.&nbsp;
We take a look at Switzerland&rsquo;s tech industry to dig into the trends and the talent.
<h3>A world leader in innovation</h3>
For the last 12 years Switzerland has dominated the Global Innovation Index (GII), holding onto its first place ranking. The GII tracks global innovation trends and growth to identify which regions are charging ahead, and who&rsquo;s left trailing behind. An impressive 12th year at the top is testament to the commitment and value placed on innovation by Switzerland.&nbsp;
With the government a champion of R&amp;D, strong and stable economic climate, and a focus on technology it&rsquo;s clear to see why Switzerland remains a global leader in innovation.
Hand in hand with innovation is technology. Crypto AG, Dartfish, Logitech, Scandit, Coresystems, Vidby to name a few are all based in Switzerland. It&rsquo;s this thriving tech community that is pushing the boundaries and creating exciting employment opportunities for those looking for a career in tech.
<h3>Key areas of tech focus</h3>
<h4>Cybersecurity</h4>
With political stability, legal certainty and global neutrality, Switzerland is the ideal base for cybersecurity companies. Particularly, when those factors are combined with its high level of privacy protection.&nbsp;
For Switzerland, cybersecurity is also a tool for humanitarian good and there is a level of support and investment to work towards just that.&nbsp;
<h4>Blockchain and crypto</h4>
Having been involved in the development of blockchain, and with a pragmatic, business-friendly approach the emergence of blockchain and crypto tech is quickly becoming a mainstay of the tech industry within Switzerland. There are over 220 fintech companies in Switzerland, with around half of those operating in the crypto and blockchain industry and this is an area that&rsquo;s bound to grow over the coming years.&nbsp;
<h4>AI</h4>
With developments in AI over the last few years, it&rsquo;s no surprise that Switzerland is bursting with AI-based startups and businesses. AI radio programming, boarding passes and drone technology are just some of the innovations that are being rolled out in the country, making it an exciting time for those working in the AI industry.
<h4>Digital personalised health</h4>
You can&rsquo;t talk about Switzerland and technology without mentioning biotech. The most recent development coming out of biotech and life sciences is personalised health. With high levels of R&amp;D funding, world-leading life science research and first-class technology the digital personalised health agenda will create an efficient, patient-centric healthcare system.
<h4>Workforce need-to-knows</h4>
The foundations of its technological drive and knowledge comes from its outstanding education system. Home to some of the world&rsquo;s most prestigious research universities, like the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, The University of Basel and the Zurich University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland&rsquo;s education system produces graduates that are highly specialised in their fields.
With four official languages - German, French, Italian and Romansh, Swiss workers bring more than just their tech know-how to a job. Many universities also teach English, giving graduates an international edge.
Many of those graduates are choosing to specialise in technology, with over 155,700 registered software developers in 2019. That number still isn&rsquo;t enough to meet the high demand, with a report that by 2026 staff shortages in Switzerland&rsquo;s tech industry will exceed 40,000. Creating opportunities for those based elsewhere to capitalise on.
Switzerland&rsquo;s highly skilled international workforce has also topped the IWD World Talent Ranking for the sixth consecutive year. Demonstrating the breadth of talent in the country. But with an increase in the number of foreign workers in Switzerland of 26% during 2022, there are plenty of opportunities for those looking to move to the country.&nbsp;
 What&rsquo;s apparent is that for those in the tech industry, Switzerland can give Silicon Valley a run for its money. Not only is it bursting at the seams with innovation, start-ups and research initiatives but it&rsquo;s got the talented workforce to match. The only fly in the ointment is whether there&rsquo;ll be enough talent to support the growing tech industry and all the opportunities that will come out of it. But maybe that just means more opportunities for those outside of Switzerland, who are willing to make the move.

Switzerland's Tech Workforce: A Look  at the Country's Talent Pool and Job Market

Wherever you&rsquo;re reading this right now, you&rsquo;re probably no more than 50 cm away from an embedded system. Mobile phone? Embedded system. Laptop? Embedded system. Smart speaker? You guessed it.&nbsp;
They&rsquo;re an integral part of our lives but there&rsquo;s been development in the embedded system world, and that&rsquo;s the internet, or more specifically the IoT.&nbsp;
The possibilities the IoT brings and the practical uses of embedded systems means that there&rsquo;s new applications appearing every day. From wearable devices to machine optimisation, there&rsquo;s barely an industry around that hasn&rsquo;t been impacted. The exciting part? This is only the start.&nbsp;
The powerhouse of IoT enabled embedded systems is fuelling developments and innovation like nothing else and opening a world that we&rsquo;ve barely scratched the surface of.
<h3> A potted history of embedded systems</h3>
Dating back to the 1960s, embedded systems have become an essential part of our daily lives. From cars to mobile phones to sensors to medical equipment, the technology we rely upon wouldn&rsquo;t function without embedded systems.&nbsp;
Initially designed for collecting real-time flight data for the Apollo launch, its usage shifted into missile guidance and then fuel injection systems for vehicles. Intel then released the first commercially available processor in 1971 and since then, it&rsquo;s prominence in technology has grown.
But despite our dependence on them, embedded systems haven&rsquo;t developed much, until recently.&nbsp;
<h3> AI and embedded systems</h3>
The development of AI has opened a world of opportunities for embedded systems. With the systems themselves becoming more complex many are now able to supplement human decision-making or exceed human capabilities.&nbsp;
Embedded AI operates at a device level, rather than a data centre in the cloud. Helping industries like aviation, finance, manufacturing and healthcare through advanced analytics and business insights.&nbsp;
It&rsquo;s made embedded systems smarter, and more responsive but that alone isn&rsquo;t enough. When AI embedded systems are combined with the IoT, that&rsquo;s where the magic starts to happen.
<h3> The impact of IoT</h3>
When embedded systems are connected to the internet there&rsquo;s no limit for their technological capabilities and practical applications. For embedded systems it&rsquo;s the biggest development in recent years and a game changer for the technical world.&nbsp;
This is a development that&rsquo;s been building for a few years and slowly the level of internet enabled embedded systems has been increasing.&nbsp;
Let&rsquo;s take a look at a few areas that have been impacted by developments in embedded systems.
<h4> Personal devices</h4>
Most of us don&rsquo;t realise that many of the devices we use on a daily basis combined embedded systems with the IoT. From smart home devices that control our thermostats to smartwatches and fitness trackers to smart speakers, embedded systems are embedded in every aspect of our lives.
<h4>Healthcare</h4>
Remote monitoring of patients frees up resources and empowers patients to track their vital signs which can then alert medical professionals if needed. Wearable devices including blood pressure, glucose and ECG monitors are all recent developments and this is an area which is going to continue to develop and make a positive impact.
<h4>Transportation</h4>
As embedded systems and vehicles have a history it&rsquo;s unsurprising that the transport industry is taking full advantage of IoT enhanced embedded systems. Used to track vehicles, optimise driving routes and reduce fuel consumption embedded systems are streamlining transportation, making efficiencies and optimising ways of working.
<h4>Manufacturing</h4>
The ability for IoT embedded systems to remotely monitor and alert based on set parameters makes them ideal for the manufacturing industry. This capability allows equipment to be controlled and operated to minimise downtime and maximise efficiency.
<h3> IoT and innovation</h3>
What makes this so exciting is there are developments and solutions that we haven&rsquo;t even thought about yet. The uses of current IoT embedded systems are solving everyday problems. We want to turn the heating up so our house is nice and cosy when we get home. We want to track our weight. We want to be alerted when something isn&rsquo;t working quite right.&nbsp;
But there are so many possibilities. So many uses that are still to come. It&rsquo;s these unknown possibilities that are fuelling innovation, not just across one area but across all industries.&nbsp;
The future is the IoT, and the future is embedded systems. When you combine the two together there&rsquo;s a wonderful, unknown space for research, development and innovation.&nbsp;
