Happy Tuesday 👋!

Welcome to the 9th special edition of Tech Talks Weekly! This issue brings together all the Kotlin talks presented in 2024. The list includes 100 talks and is ordered by the number of views for your convenience.

There’s tons of fantastic content and the talks cover a wide variety of topics including:

• New Kotlin features (from 2.0.0 onwards).

• Exposed (what a great name!) - a DB access library that provides type-safe SQL.

• Various applications of coroutines.

• Doing FP in Kotlin.

• A long-term project of revamping Kotlin’s type system to eliminate unnecessarily problematic expressiveness.

• The dark side of Kotlin covering experimental, new, and less known but controversial language features.

• … or even switching to Kotlin from Pandas which clearly proves the versatility of the language using Kotlin Notebooks and Kotlin Dataframe.

• Any many, many more.

👉 You can follow Tech Talks Weekly on LinkedIn with extra content that you won’t find in the newsletter. For example, I recently shared:
