Evaluating Kotlin Multiplatform: Benefits and Trade-Offs in Cross-Platform Development
KMP is emerging as an alternative for cross-platform development, offering a path to share code without sacrificing the performance and feel of a native application. KMP comes with its own set of trade-offs and this article dives deep into those. While it focuses primarily on Android and iOS, KMP can be used to build desktop, web, and server-side applications, all from the same shared logic.

How Functional Programming Can Help You Write Efficient, Elegant Web Applications
Many things can make software more challenging to understand and, consequently, to maintain. One of the most complex and problematic causes is managing internal mutable states. When the internal state is poorly managed, the software behaves unexpectedly, leading to bugs and fixing, which introduces unnecessary complexity. FP solves this problem by providing immutability mechanisms and more.

Java Champion James Ward on the State of Java and JVM Languages
James Ward is a Java Champion and Google’s Kotlin product manager. In a podcast, Ward agreed that “people are still trapped in the Java world” and called default mutability in Java the “trillion-dollar mistake”. In this interview, he speaks about the state of Java, JVM languages, mutability, and functional programming.

Kotlin at Ten. Interview with JetBrains’ Roman Elizarov
JetBrains unveiled Kotlin in July 2011, aiming to create a modern, general-purpose programming language running on the JVM as well as on the Web. Kotlin has quickly seen huge adoption, especially for Android app development. InfoQ has taken the chance to speak with Kotlin project lead at JetBrains Roman Elizarov to learn more about the origins of the language and its future.

Enhanced Streams Processing with Kotlin’s Sequence Interface
Data structures are an intrinsic part of every programming language, yet Java’s Stream interface lacks vital operations and its complex approach to extensibility gave rise to alternative libraries such as jOOλ and Guava. This article provides an alternative approach that can be easily integrated in any Java project using Kotlin's Sequence interface.

Tutorial: Writing Microservices in Kotlin with Ktor—a Multiplatform Framework for Connected Systems
Ktor (pronounced Kay-tor) is a framework built from the ground up using Kotlin and coroutines. It is a great fit for applications that require HTTP and/or socket connectivity. These can be HTTP backends and RESTful systems, whether or not they’re architectured in a microservice approach.

A Bottom-Up View of Kotlin Coroutines
Recently coroutines have become popular as an alternative to Reactive Programming on the JVM. In many cases the costs of restructuring your code around functional operations for reactive streams outweigh the benefits, so coroutines have emerged, initially for Android, as an alternative solution. This deep dive explores how Kotlin's implementation works under the hood.
