Lambda World 2019 - What the F(p) is Kotlin? - Katie Levy & Shelby Cohen

In this Lambda World 2019 presentation, software engineers Katie Levy and Shelby Cohen share their experience introducing Kotlin and Functional Programming at Intuit.

Presentation description:

We, as two entry level engineers, took on the challenge of introducing Kotlin and Functional Programming to our company, Intuit. Even though you all know Kotlin is a great language, we overcame the obstacles associated with a large company structure of having a common tech stack. In addition, Kotlin provided a natural transition for OOP Java developers to use Functional Programming Paradigms.

Hear about how, in less than two years, we went from getting our diplomas to gaining influence and driving change at a major technology company, and how you can do it too.

Java + C++ = Android App with fast native parts, but horible JNI beetween Java and C++. Kotlin can replace both. It will be wonderfull someday have ability to create Android app with kotlin JVM/ART and kotlin native parts, one language, smooth integration
