Kotlin is similar to the Java programming language, so it's natural that your Kotlin code looks very much like Java code when you are first start to use the language.

In this session, the lead Kotlin language designer will show you how you can write more idiomatic Kotlin, what the benefits are, and help you discover some of the most powerful yet lesser known features of Kotlin.
