Hi, Spring fans! In this talk Spring Developer Advocate, Java Champion, and Kotlin Google Developer Advocate Josh Long (@starbuxman) introduces the Kotlin ecosystem, the language, and its application when building server-side Spring applications.
This is a roving tour of all things Kotlin, and there's a lot to cover, including:
* building Android applications with Kotlin on mobile devices
* building native applications with Kotlin and Kotlin Native ((m)alloc, pointers, and POSIX APIs, oh, my!)
* giving existing APIs like the venerable `JdbcTemplate` a fresh coat of paint with Kotlin
* using Kotlin ecosystem libraries like the Exposed ORM with Spring
* using rich DSLs such as those provided for Spring Framework's programmatic bean registration, HTTP endpoints, and for Spring Cloud Gateway
* kicking up our reactive applications a notch with coroutines
