Kotlin is specially designed for JVM and Android. It is particularly designed to interoperate with Java and also to improve the existing Java models by offering solutions to API design deficiencies.

It is a general-purpose, open-source, sterically-typed, cross-platform pragmatic programming language with type inference. Kotlin is also an object-oriented programming language just like Java developed by JetBrains.

Note that Android itself is written in Java. Java is the primary choice for the developers when it comes to Android app development. Usually, it is used to develop the back-end. Using Java, we can create a variety of applications such as desktop applications, enterprise applications, cloud-based, and web-based applications.

Java is the most popular, widely used, object-oriented programming language designed by James Gosling. In this section, we have discussed the differences between Java and Kotlin. Kotlin is used to develop android applications while Java is mainly used for developing enterprise applications. But both are used for different purposes. Java and Kotlin both are object-oriented programming languages.
