JavaOne2012: Kotlin: Practical Aspects of JVM Language Implementation
This document summarizes a talk on practical aspects of implementing the Kotlin programming language on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The talk discusses Kotlin extensions, bridges between Kotlin and Java generics and primitives, default arguments, traits, collections and variance, and nullable types. The speaker explains how Kotlin provides features like extensions, traits and improved collection types while maintaining compatibility with Java code and the JVM.

- 2. Why you shouldcare • Language is an abstraction ➡ thus it leaks abstraction • When something weird happens ➡ you may need to "see through the Matrix" 2 Tuesday, October 2, 12
