App Development Frameworks

Strictly for Android app development, a large segment of developers around the world prefer Kotlin. However, when it comes to scripting and testing, Groovy is the option to go with. Kotlin also takes the lead on the scale of performance optimization, consistency, lesser vulnerabilities, and backing by Google. 

Yes! Owing to the simplified and concise code syntaxes and a simpler learning curve, the demand for Kotlin has been rising. This received further impetus after backing from Google. For developers already adept in Java, it is even easier to learn and switch to Kotlin.

The essential difference between Kotlin and Groovy is in compiling. While both are executable on JVM, Kotlin is statically typed and the variable is checked during compile time. Whereas, Groovy is predominantly dynamic typed but can also be executed as static type, and the type checking is done in run-time.
