Currently working on Android development in LINE Fukuoka. I'm a zealous user of Kotlin.
Before we begin Hi everyone, I am Freddie Wang from LINE Fukuoka's development team. I'm currently in charge of developing a new Android app called LINE Creators Studio.

I will explain why we chose Kotlin as our main language and introduce some of the Kotli
