 '''Kotlin''' is a statically typed, object-oriented programming language for the [[Java bytecode|JVM]] and the browser. (There are also versions based on [[JavaScript]].) It resembles Apple's [[Swift]] language, but preceded it. It can be used for client or server side development, as well as to create [[Android]] apps similarly to the use of Swift to create [[iOS]] apps. It was developed by Russians. The Kotlin Foundation has offices in several European countries.

-Among the features is a [[Groovy]]-style 'html' function to build an [[HTML]] document from structured data encoding its elements.
+Among the features is a [[Groovy]]-style 'html' function to build an [[HTML]] document from structured data encoding its elements. JavaScript-based variants can also access the HTML DOM of a web document, and do graphics using the HTML5 canvas.
 The Kotlin keyword for defining a function is 'fun', so programming in Kotlin is clearly more fun than with any other language.
