At the first ever Brighton Kotlin meetup I gave a short presentation on how we have introduced Kotlin into our back end ecosystem at Crunch. These slides are very high level but give an idea of what I talked about on the night.

Editor's Notes
- Common frustrations from looking at many huge PRs “Making Every Line Count” “Coolness” Easy - Interoperability & IDE support Community
- Sneak into projects (using confidence from test coverage) Exemplars Parent/starter POMs to make integration easy
- Strikt Mockk Quickly evaluated a few options until we had something we were really happy with
- No actual problems! Xxxx LOCs saved Less noisy PRs, less need to write/assert coding standards Reduced use of libraries: Apache Commons, Guava nearly removed Reduced need for other frameworks/generators, e.g. Lombok, AutoValue
- “You’re rewriting working code?” “I’m a Java dev, I can’t work with this” “In the future, but why now?” “Java will get to the same place by itself, but gradually”
- Apply lessons to all our microservices Gain genuine Kotlin expertise I.e. less use of auto-migration tools Take full advantage of Kotlin language improvements Baseline training for new hires (since we can’t expect Uni to cover) I.e. please send us more free stuffz
