It is impressive to see the amount of similarity which exists in Swift, Kotlin and Go, the three new languages for iOS, Android, and server-development respectively.
Consider a simple, Hello World program.

// Type automatically inferred to string
let name = "Ashish" // let declares a read-only variable
print("Hello world from \(name)!")

| fun printHello() {
// Type automatically inferred to string
val name = "Ashish" // val declares a read-only value, var declares a read-write variable
println("Hello world from ${name}")
}
