Kotlin
The State of Kotlin
Q1 2022 Edition
<p>In 2021 Kotlin turned 10 and the team delivered 2 major releases (1.5.0 and 1.6.0) and a few minors. The main themes of those releases were Java interoperability and consistency of the language features. Meanwhile, Kotlin/JS has been promoted to Beta and KMM is on its path to reaching Beta status as well. However, one long-running project in Kotlin is the development of the new compiler, K2, which should set a solid foundation for the language and the ecosystem for the years ahead.</p>
<p>This session is an overview of the latest developments in Kotlin: the language, tools, compiler, and the ecosystem around it. We're also going to take a look at Kotlin's roadmap to see where are we heading. Come and learn what's new and exciting!</p>

<p>Dependency Injection is a complicated topic, and when used in a project that compiles to multiple targets through different compilers & runtimes, it can lead to serious headaches. However, the Inversion of Control pattern brings a lot of architecture features and safety.</p>

<p>The Kotlin typing system is amazingly designed. It was designed and constantly improved for years, and it was built based on experiences from other typing systems. As a result it gives us very comfortable nullability support, type inference, universal guards, and much more. In this presentation, we’ll dive deep into Kotlin typing systems and how small design choices lead to a better programming experience.</p>

<p>Grab your notebook cause in this talk, we are gonna talk about Math and Kotlin! Especially in the power that Kotlin has to run long operations and the power to perform some calculations like computing min, max, an average of numbers stored in a list! - from sumOf {} to multi-dimensional arrays to charts!</p>

<p>KSP (Kotlin Symbol Processing) is an API from Google for writing Kotlin compiler plugins. Using KSP we can write annotation processors to reduce boilerplate and solve cross-cutting concerns. Also KSP is more effective than KAPT. Among the advantages of using it is the support of Kotlin Multiplatform. Another way to optimize common code is to use Kotlin plugins. In my talk I would to like to show some samples how to use own plugins and KSP processing in Kotlin Multiplatform app supporting both ...
