Imperative, declarative, object oriented, functional: four of a Kotlin kind

Humans have small working memory but good pattern matching skills. The problems we want to solve are large and complex. How can the approach we take make it easier to deal with complexity, especially if the approach is supported by the language we choose.

This talk is a comparative view of four interrelated programming paradigms: imperative, declarative, object oriented and functional – from a Kotlin perspective.

This talk will cover in depth details of the language features that are especially suitable for each of the paradigms. It will highlight how each language feature helps to deal with complexity.

* brief definitions
* snippets of software history
