Kotlin used the Java programming language for its initial implementation , then most of the Kotlin compiler’s source code got rewritten to Kotlin. Now, most of new code that is added to the Kotlin compiler codebase is written in Kotlin.

The creation of Kotlin Kotlin was invented to solve developer challenges of JetBrains . They needed a simpler tool than Java to work with their main product, called IntelliJ IDEA, totally written in it. The guys investigated the alternatives, stayed unsatisfied, and decided to invent their own language.
