The beauty of Kotlin type system (kt.academy)

The Kotlin type system is amazingly designed. Many features that look like special cases are just a natural consequence of how the type system is designed.

I loved programming in Kotlin. Even writing a scatter graph module from (almost) scratch was a pleasant experience. That coming from a mostly Pythonic background where I much prefer others doing my work.

I’m kinda the opposite origin, as most of my career was done using statically-typed and compiled languages. Recently I’ve been looking more into the situations in which dynamic languages can be useful and trying to do little projects using them. I think learning well many languages open your mind to the different possibilities and trade-offs each language does.
