1. Benefits of KMM at a glance

Kotlin is considered the de-facto Android development language and now supports iOS development too.

It is based on the Java Virtual Machine, and hence apps are interoperable with JavaScript. 

Allows developers to launch apps on both iOS and Android using the same server-side logic. 

Lower deployment costs, as you can hire mobile app developers in the Netherlands to maintain one server-side codebase that caters to both mobile platforms. 

KMM allows you to maintain the same brand identity- iconography, color schematics, UI flow, etc.- while offering a native UX to users on both iOS and Android- two of the leading mobile platforms in this day and age. 

2. Why Do Developers Love Kotlin?

Kotlin’s syntax is extremely readable. Given its foundation in Java, the Kotlin lexicon is easy even for beginner developers to interpret; this cuts down on development and debugging time, and therefore, developer-cost-per-hour.

Mobile app developers in the Netherlands love Kotlin because it allows OOP-based functional programming. They can easily break down an application into component modules and simultaneously work on them to save time, and therefore, again your cost 

Kotlin’s LLVM compiler helps reduce code complexity for event-based programs. It allows you to develop Kotlin code as standalone binaries for various OS architectures. 

Kotlin’s compile-time, ‘fail-fast’ error detection is also greatly responsible for cutting down runtime errors, further aiding both development and testing time. Kotlin’s null references help to cut down on more compile-time errors with ‘checked exceptions. 

KMM helps developers build mobile apps by avoiding erroneous coding practices. Its special ‘Throwable’ library class helps coders create custom exceptions for event-driven programming. Kotlin reduces runtime errors with ‘unchecked exceptions’ listed under the aforementioned null-time references. 

Kotlin uses a ‘Concurrent Mark-Sweep (CMS) Algorithm’ that can help with better garbage collection in mobile apps; this is a step-up from iOS de-facto language, Swift’s Automatic Reference Counting (ARC). Hence, you can hire a Kotlin mobile app development company in Amsterdam, Netherlands to launch iOS mobile programs with better memory management than Swift-written native Apple programs.

3. Why Hire The Best Kotlin App Developers in The Netherlands?

Kotlin code is highly reusable. It interoperates with multiple mobile app dev languages and is less syntax-verbose than the erstwhile Android-coding language, the almighty Java. Plus, the Android KTX contains every package imaginable for mobile app API extensions. 

Kotlin’s way of declaring null references safely allows the compiler to only work with immutable variables, classes, collections, etc. This gives your cross-platform mobile applications better security.

Kotlin has co-routines that facilitate the development of highly-scalable, server-side mobile applications. Hence, your apps and its APIs can rapidly handle high volumes of user requests, offering a stable service across both iOS and Android.

Kotlin’s acceptance by Google and the global development community has led to the development of newer programming libraries in Kotlin itself. Thus, when your business hires mobile app developers they can leverage the language’s interoperability; plus, your business can easily migrate outdated applications to a newer framework and support users across emerging mobile devices. 

As a web frontend framework, Kotlin allows businesses to create full-stack applications that integrate web-oriented technologies like the Cloud, IoT, etc. for on-demand applications, eCommerce services, OTT platforms, eLearning platforms, public digital infra, etc. All of this using the same shared frontend codebase that reduces the volume of business logic your developers need to define. 

4. Why HFDI instead of top App Developers in the Netherlands?

HireFullStackDeveloperIndia outsources dedicated, cross-platform mobile app developers to an international clientele, via flexible engagement models. Our sizable team of certified junior, intermediate, and senior Kotlin developers can help your business adopt the language for diverse use cases. 

Kotlin’s shared code allows us to utilize multi-platform libraries for platform-specific AND platform-agnostic app dependencies, APIs, etc. We have a proven track record for using Kotlin to develop web-based, multi-platform mobile applications. Our deep-seated knowledge of the language and its framework tooling allows us to reduce manual programming efforts so you can deploy your apps and convert users faster across both iOS and Android. 

5. Wrap up
