Posting Etiquette

  1. Ask the main part of your question in the title. This should be concise but informative.

  2. Provide everything up front. Don't make people fish for more details in the comments. Provide background information and examples.

  3. Be present for follow up questions. Don't ask for help and run away. Stick around to answer questions and provide more details.

  4. Ask about the problem you're trying to solve. Don't focus too much on debugging your exact solution, as you may be going down the wrong path. Include as much information as you can about what you ultimately are trying to achieve. See more on this here: https://xyproblem.info/

Stick with kotlin? (lemmy.world)

I decided to go for kotlin as my first language because I had ideas for a mobile app. I quickly learned that android dev isn't the best starting point, and I'm not a fan of the lack of choice I have for editors with it. I only really know some basics, I used to know some javascript but forgot it

You could try Flutter with Dart: https://flutter.dev/

Dart is quite similar to Kotlin, and Flutter is Google's attempt to provide a modern app development framework without all the weird legacy stuff.

I don't have experience with it, I just know it's the thing they've invested heavily in.

In general I'd avoid hopping between technologies too much (it's the classic procrastination method we all fall into), but I do think it makes sense to try and find the most highly recommended tool when you're starting out.

All things considered, I think this is the best answer for OP.
