Starting an app from scratch or modifying a pre-existing app requires time and attention to the back-end programming language. This is easier said than done and oftentimes requires help.

So you want to make a mobile app. One of your greatest considerations is going to be
the back-end; specifically choosing a programming language that's right for your vision
and application. As a leading mobile app developer, us here at ​Codal​ would like to
profile some of our favorite ​mobile​ programming languages in hopes of leading you and
your app towards one that’s the perfect fit.
Kotlin
Looking to develop an ​Android​ application? Look no further than ​Kotlin​. This statistically
typed programming language an ideal fit for developing ​Android apps​.
Production-ready, Kotlin is modern and expressive, safe, and interoperable.
Modern and expressive code means
developers can express their ideas in full
without the need to write a lot of ​boilerplate
code​. And when isn’t safety desirable? Safer
code only improves the quality of your app.
Lastly, Kotlin is ​100%​ interoperable with Java.
These are but a few of the compelling reasons why Kotlin is perfect for an Android
mobile app developer​. Likewise, Codal loves ​working with Kotlin​ for ​mobile app design
and development​.
Swift
iPhone or iPad? ​Swift​ is the programming language to develop an application for either
of these two devices as they run on iOS.
With Swift code you can create an entirely new app from scratch or
you can incorporate new functionality and features into a

2. pre-existing application. That being said, Swift is interoperable with Objective-C.
Swift​ is expressive. Features making this possible include easy to use ​Generics​,
functional programming patterns (like map and filter), and ​enums​ that allow for payloads
and pattern matching.
Additionally, Swift is exceptionally fast as it has speed advantages during​ iOS application
development.
Swift ​isn’t going anywhere​. This programming language is only gaining traction. Some of the
biggest​ companies are using Swift to build and maintain, even ​rebrand​ their mobile apps.
Likewise, industry leaders in mobile app development, like ​Codal​, are Swift ​experts​.
Conclusion
Starting an app from scratch or modifying a pre-existing app requires time and attention
to the back-end programming language. This is easier said than done and oftentimes
requires help.
