JAVA, Kotlin, and Scala – An Old but Classy Trio

Do you think that Java, Kotlin, and Scala are classy trios? These programming languages are dominating the market very well. There is a large number of enterprise applications that have been designed in Java. Java is dominating the market because it offers tremendous facilities. It is expected that people will be shifting to the other major platforms in the future because businesses are compelled to pay huge fees to use Java.

Let’s discuss Java, Kotlin, and Scala briefly,

Java

It was developed in the early 90s by Sun Microsystems. Java is an efficient, general-purpose, and simple language that is primarily used for internet-based applications. It was originally designed for embedded network applications running on different platforms at the same time. Java is considered an extremely portable, interpreted, and object oriented language. You can run the java application on any device regardless of the operating system and hardware features with the java interpreter.

The other key advantages of java are its set of security features that protect a PC running a java program from malicious programs like viruses not only from problems caused by erroneous code.

Kotlin

It was introduced in the market in Feb 2012 as an open-source language.  Currently, you will find the two released versions of Kotlin. The language is popularly used on android because of its perfect compatibility with Java 6. The two main prominent qualities of the hotline include flawless and seamless interoperability with Java.

You can have the higher-order functionality in kotlin that is the ability to take a function as a return type or argument. Lock functions are one of the prominent examples of kotlin. When it comes to coding, Kotlin is my favorite one, as the coding in kotlin is very concise, to the point and very short that is unlike Java. You will find the boilerplate code frustrating and error-prone in Java. There are some weaknesses too like weaker pattern matching, extra run-time size, initial readability of code, and lack of official support.

Scala

It was developed by Martin Odersky in 2004. The name scala represents the scalable language according to the needs of its users. It is taking the spotlight from Kotlin as it has common features with Kotlin like higher-order functions, interoperability with Java, conciseness of code, and FP functionality with an OOP style. Some of their strengths are running everywhere after writing once, the complete support to macros and matching, operator overloading, and bigger community support. The main weaknesses include binary compilation, slow compilation, and less efficiency in the management of null security.

Indeed, technologies in software development are changing instantly more than in any other sector. The demand is expected to grow more in the coming years too. But the trio of Java, Kotlin, object-oriented, and Scala is the best so far.
