Swift and Kotlin: Mobile-Centric Languages for Web
The two most well-known languages for developing mobile apps are Kotlin (Google) and Swift (Apple). But they’re also becoming more popular in web development, especially for server-side apps and backend services.
Key Features:
- Interoperability: Integrate native platforms with ease.
- Safety: robust error-handling and type systems.
- Modern Syntax: Code that is expressive and concise.
Use Cases:
- Server-Side Applications: Making use of frameworks such as Ktor (Kotlin) and Vapor (Swift).
- Integrated Solutions: Web and mobile code bases that are shared.
Future Trends: As Swift and Kotlin expand into web development, their adoption for backend systems is expected to grow. Their integration with modern tools ensures a unified development experience.
