Kotlin, the new kid in the family of JVM-based languages, is slowly but steadily capturing hearts of many Java developers. All the while finding its way to many prominent Java-related projects, such as Android, Spring and Gradle. It is indeed possible to use Vaadin with Kotlin as well!

I recently wrote a series of articles which not only explain the ideas behind the Vaadin DSL and JPA integration, but also explores ways of Kotlin language features replacing the traditional Spring/JavaEE approach.
