Komdu Sæll! I'm the Viking Programmer, and in this group I will be discussing my programming experience in many different programming languages, enjoy!
"It’s clear: Java (on Android) is dying," the Realm team explains. "In fact, 20% of apps built with Java before Google I/O are now being built in Kotlin. Kotlin may even change how Java is used on the server, too."

Kotlin is to replace Java as of December 2018

"In short, Android developers without Kotlin skills are at risk of being seen as dinosaurs very soon," Realm experts add.

Java for a long time has been the programming language of Android, which is the world's largest platform(Both mobile and PC). This caused some legal issues with the creators of Java, Oracle. They since have sued Google and have demanded to take a cut of profit from Android. So, Google has decided to switch languages. The thought hasn't been recent, in the year 2016 they were debating on changing it to Dart(Google's own programming language) or to Swift(Apple's take on modern OO-C Programming). They settled on Kotlin as it can interpret Java and has a similar syntax yet runs faster and works more efficiently for a mobile platform. What do you think about Google's massive switch on the world's largest OS from being Java to Kotlin?
These developers are getting out of hand...
Try this everyone!
Why do programmers always mix up Halloween and Christmas?

This is mildly annoying...
Google has been shipping Pixel 2's without operating systems. Do you think they're ever going with LG again?
"Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it."
To Google Pixel 2 Owners
Programming on Android is great when you own a physical keyboard folks!
