Android developers: your programming environment suuuuuuuucks. Hundreds of lines of code to get simple things working that take less than 10 lines on the Web. You don't have to live this way.
I have to do an Android project for my Software Engineering class because of course real software engineers use Java, and it is such a slog.
@evan where are you taking classes? I'm on the Kotlin Foundation, Kotlin has been the official language for writing Android apps since 2017. Our Education Committee will want to help modernize the course.
@evan ah, it's in your profile 
@piannaf it's not an Android class; it's a software engineering course.
@evan Some colleges use Kotlin in data structures and algorithms courses and other general software engineering courses, too. So still something we'd want to advocate for. It is a JVM language and can compile to other platforms, just most well-known for Android development so far
@piannaf oh, that sounds awesome. Thanks for reaching out!
