This may be off topic, but I hope this counts as contribution to giving exposure to Kotlin. I’m no expert in Kotlin, but I thought it’d be nice to share with you guys about my recent experience. A few people from the event were inspired by me pick up on Kotlin, so it was definitely worth it overall. I didn’t place in the top two at the event, but I sure did feel like a winner helping out the Kotlin community. 🙂
