Effective Kotlin summarizes the best practices and experiences of the Kotlin community, together with a deep explanation of some lesser-known Kotlin functionalities. All of the best practices are presented as simple rules with detailed explanations. Kotlin is a powerful and pragmatic language, but it's not enough to know about its features. We also need to know when they should be used and in what way. This book is a guide for Kotlin developers on how to become excellent Kotlin developers. It presents and explains in-depth the best practices for Kotlin development. Each item is presented as a clear rule of thumb, supported by detailed explanations and practical examples. Why do we decide to use Kotlin in our projects instead of Java, jаvascript, or C++? For developers, the answer is often that Kotlin is a modern language with a lot of useful features. For business, the answer is usually that Kotlin is a safe language, meaning that it is less prone to errors due to its design. You don’t need to have any experience with development to get upset when an application crashes or there is an error on a website that does not let you check out after you’ve spent an hour adding products to your basket. Fewer crashes improve the lives of both users and developers, thus providing significant business value. Safety is important for us, and Kotlin is a really safe language, but it still needs developer support to be truly safe. In this chapter, we’ll talk about the most important best practices for safety in Kotlin. This book does not teach the basics. It assumes that you have enough knowledge and skills to do Kotlin development.
