I-Kotlin iye yaba lulwimi lweprogram olukhethwayo lwe-Android

UGoogle kwinkomfa kaGoogle I/O 2019 kwibhlog yabaphuhlisi benkqubo yokusebenza ye-Android kwaziswa, ukuba ulwimi lweprogram ye-Kotlin ngoku lulwimi olukhethiweyo lokuphuhlisa izicelo zenkqubo yayo yokusebenza yeselula, oku kuthetha inkxaso yayo ephambili evela kwinkampani kuzo zonke izixhobo, amacandelo kunye nee-API xa kuthelekiswa nezinye iilwimi. 

"Uphuhliso lwe-Android luya kugxila ngakumbi kwiKotlin," uGoogle ubhala kwisibhengezo. "Uninzi lweJetpack APIs kunye namacandelo aya kunikezelwa kuqala kwiKotlin. Ukuba uqala iprojekthi entsha, kufuneka uyibhale eKotlin. Ikhowudi ebhalwe eKotlin ihlala ithetha ikhowudi encinci ukuba ungayichwetheza, uyivavanye kwaye uyigcine.

Kwiminyaka emibini edlulileyo, kwi-I / O 2017, i-Google yaqala ukuvakalisa inkxaso ye-Kotlin kwi-IDE yayo, i-Android Studio. Oku kuyamangaza, kuba iJava kudala ilulwimi olukhethwayo kuphuhliso lweapp ye-Android. Izaziso ezimbalwa kuloo ngqungquthela zaqhwatyelwa izandla ngakumbi. Kwiminyaka emibini edlulileyo, ukuthandwa kukaKotlin kuye kwanda kuphela. NgokukaGoogle, ngaphezulu kwe-50% yabaphuhlisi abaqeqeshiweyo be-Android basebenzisa ulwimi ukuphuhlisa ii-apps zabo, kwaye ibekwe njengolona lwimi lwesine ludumileyo lwenkqubo kwihlabathi kuvavanyo lwamva nje lweStack Overflow.

Kwaye ngoku kubonakala ngathi iGoogle ifumene indlela yokwandisa inkxaso yayo kwiKotlin. "Sibhengeza ukuba inyathelo elikhulu elilandelayo esilithathayo kukuba iKotlin iya kuba ngowokuqala," utshilo uChet Haase, injineli kwiqela le-Android UI Toolkit kuGoogle.

“Siyaqonda ukuba ayinguye wonke umntu osebenzisa iKotlin okwangoku, kodwa sikholelwa ukuba kufuneka uzame,” uqhubeka uHaase. “Usenokuba nezizathu ezivakalayo zokusebenzisa iC++ kunye neelwimi zeJava, kwaye oko kulungile. Abayi ndawo.

Kuyafaneleka ukuba uqaphele ukuba i-Kotlin yaphuhliswa yi-JetBrains, inkampani eyasungulwa ngamaqabane ethu kunye neeofisi eMoscow, eSt. Petersburg naseNovosibirsk. Ngaloo ndlela, i-Kotlin inokuqwalaselwa ngokubanzi njengophuhliso lwasekhaya oluye lwafumana ukuqatshelwa kwehlabathi. Kuhleli ukuvuyisana neqela le-JetBrains ngale mpumelelo kwaye ndibanqwenelela uphuhliso oluneziqhamo ezingaphezulu.
