kotlin

kotlin is a statically typed programming language for developing modern multiplatform applications. It is intended for software developers who need a language that can be used across more than one platform. Static typing makes the types of values part of the language's source code and development process. This places kotlin within the developer-tools category rather than among general desktop applications.

The language is suited to projects where application code may need to target multiple platforms. Its multiplatform focus is the central capability described for this product. As an open-source project, kotlin can be used and examined under the terms of its open-source license. The Linux version provides a way for developers working on Linux systems to obtain and use the language in that environment.

MirrorNest distributes kotlin for Linux by mirroring the official build directly on its own storage. This gives Linux users a catalog entry for the official build rather than a separately described package. MirrorNest scans the mirrored file for malware before publishing it. The entry therefore combines the language's developer-tool role with a distribution process focused on providing the official build through the MirrorNest catalog.
