Which is better Java or Kotlin ?

Question

which language should an Android developer endorse? Kotlin or Java? what are pros and cons of each? Is Java still relevant?

Answer 1

Kotlin runs on Java Virtual Machine. So Kotlin is dependent on Java.
You can say kotlin is an upgraded version with some new features of java. Supporting both Java/Android Programs.
If u ask me , I would suggest u to go for Kotlin for Android application development purposes.
