2020-02-24 Monday - Quick Visual Guide to Setup Kotlin for Eclipse 4.14 (2019-12)

A quick visual guide to setup Kotlin 1.3 in Eclipse 4.14 (2020-12)

This posting was motivated by the elegant Kotlin implementation that Christian Hujer posted to Github today (for Conway's Game of Life) - which led me to spend a little time today revisiting Kotlin.

The conciseness of the Kotlin language is notable when comparing Christian's two implementations: Kotlin vs. Java.
