While working with Kotlin, you will find another good quality is how concise it is. The Kotlin syntax is easy to read and interpret even without prior knowledge of any programming language. Kotlin has certain features that make it a truly concise language, such as type interface, data classes, properties, smart casts, and a lot more. We will see more detail about each of them later in this chapter. 

With these features, the code written with Kotlin is compact without losing its capabilities. Kotlin is more concise than Java in many aspects, and because of this we can implement the same functionality with fewer lines of code. This greatly improves legibility and ease of use. Developers can easily read, code, and update the program, even when it has been written by others. 

Furthermore, Kotlin enables the speeding up of day-to-day development tasks with various features such as default parameters, extension functions, and object declarations. Your code is more compact and yet robust, without raising any maintainability concerns. This will reduce the possibility of bugs in the system.

Kotlin evolved as an enhancement to Java rather than as a completely new language. So the skills and knowledge you have with Java can be applied to Kotlin, making it an easy language to learn.
