For beginners: Java or Kotlin ??

Question

Alot of beginners asks this question when they want to program, but answer is java, and here is why:
1- java still controls the android programming
2- java has more resources than kotlin
3- most java programmers are available when you are stuck or have a problem, but Kotlin! I dont think so

In other hand kotlin uses short codes and has less bugs 😀

Plz comment for benefit

Answer 1

As of now, sticking to Java is better due to lack of resources for learning Kotlin. But after sometime, Java might be forgotten.

Answer 5

Learn Java first, then Kotlin because:
- there are alot many more resources available for Java.
- You can develop kesktop, mobile and web apps using Java, Kotlin is limited at the moment.

* you can use Kotlin because it allows you to import Java libraries.
* for me, i will use Kotlin from now on
