Paradigm | Golang is a statically typed, imperative, and procedural language with some support for functional programming. | Kotlin is a statically typed, object-oriented, and functional language that runs on the JVM and can also be compiled to JavaScript or native code. |
Typing | Golang has strong, static typing with type inference. | Kotlin has strong, static typing with type inference and support for null safety. |
Performance | Golang is known for its high performance and efficient memory management. | Kotlin is also known for its performance, but it may not be as fast as Golang in some cases. |
