Android to add Go support... Android to add Swift support..
Go support is still very limited, and Swift support doesn't seem to exist at all. So they try with yet another language. The main difference is that this is a crappy language with $php $jquery $syntax.

...b-b-b-b-but Kotlin is DESIGNED to be better than Java! They removed the semicolons! It's got features that do what other languages do, only better, because the semantics are completely different!
Ugh. Kotlin looks like Python and Javascript had baby, even after they had attempted to abort it and the mother spend the entire term drunk and stoned.
The main difference is kotlin runs on the jvm and mixes with all the other java just fine, so all they're doing is shipping android studio with support for it. The support that was already in IntelliJ presumably. What else do they need to do?

What else do they need to do? Stop being Jews and offer their IntelliJ pro servlet support for free. Cuz fuck those niggas, Eclipse is just as good.
