Remember all those people who kept saying that once you learn one programming/scripting language then it's not too difficult to learn another one? Well, they were telling the truth. I have known Javascript for years and I decided that I should expand...

great Article !

I'd like a second part dealing with objects, classes, polymorphism, inheritance and so on

Thanks thats actually a really good idea.

Yes, it is definitely helpful! And especially so if you make it a goal to learn languages of new paradigms. Object oriented, prototype based, functional (Clojure maybe), maybe even logic programming. I made it a goal to seek out languages in areas I don't know yet, or with unique features. Next on my list is Elixir.

Yes you are right I can't believe I waited so long to try something else.

Thanks I will make more articles like this in the future.

I found that learning different languages strengthen your knowledge in the one you are used to.

I totally agree. My initial intention for this post was to just show the differences between the Syntax so you could see how they look quite similar. Like Python using print() and Kotlin using println() for logging data to the console. Anyway I decided to update the post I added a section for Import Statements and a very detailed conclusion to make for a better read.

Very nice post! I'm very interested in Kotlin. It's what Java should have become.

I agree the syntax is easier on the eyes and you write less lines of code. The fact that Google made Kotlin the official programming language for Android development shows how good it is.
