In the lead up to this year's Kotlin Conf, Touchlab's Justin Mancinelli and JetBrains' Pamela Hill have the scoop on two of tomorrow's workshops that will be running: One hosted by Touchlab's Kevin Galligan, Tadeas Kriz, and Russell Wolf on putting Kotlin Multiplatform into production, and one hosted by JetBrains' Garth Gilmour on Compose. Check out their video here!

Kotlin DSL Is Now the Default for New Gradle Builds We always strive to help developers write better-structured and more maintainable builds. Given this aim, applying Kotlin to writing Gradle build scripts and plugins seems only natural. Kotlin provides many powerful features that make it an excellent choice for creating a DSL and significantly improve the developer experience. We have done a lot of work […]

Blog post: Don’t use Java RedissonClient with Kotlin Coroutines for distributed Redis locks I've written a blog post that share my experience dealing with unexpected lock acquisition behavior when using Java RedissonClient with Kotlin Coroutines for distributed Redis locks. I'll also discuss the workaround I tried and the reasons why I ultimately chose not to use Redisson for this purpose. If you're interested in learning more about this issue or have any alternative approaches, I invite you to read the full blog post and share your thoughts. https://medium.com/@icycle0409/dont-use-java-redissonclient-with-kotlin-coroutines-for-distributed-redis-locks-41da2e85c54a

Here's a poem about Kotlin by ChatGPT 🤓:

Oh, Kotlin, the coding language divine,
A programming gem that continues to shine.
With concise syntax, and powerful features,
You've won over developers, becoming their pleasers.

From Android apps to backend servers,
Kotlin's versatility, it surely delivers.
With seamless interoperability and Java-like syntax,
Writing clean, modern code becomes a cinch.

Nullable types, extension functions, and more,
Kotlin's innovations, they never bore.
Pattern matching, coroutines, and DSLs,
Empowering developers with coding spells.

Built on the JVM, and fully supported by Google,
Kotlin's popularity continues to double.
With JetBrains at the helm, a team of skilled minds,
Creating a language that's truly one of a kind.

Efficient, expressive, and statically typed,
Kotlin makes coding a joyride.
With concise and expressive syntax to boast,
Productivity soars, as bugs are almost toast.

But it's not just the code, it's the community too,
With KotlinConf and meetups, a vibrant crew.
Supportive forums and libraries galore,
A thriving ecosystem that developers adore.

So here's to Kotlin, the language so cool,
With its modern features, and coding rule.
A programming gem that's here to stay,
Empowering developers in every way.

the Kotlin team is back at full speed after tough beginning of the year 💪

New release of Ktorfit for KSP 1.8.20-1.0.10 🎉 https://github.com/Foso/Ktorfit/releases/tag/v1.1.0

Heya all! I’ve written an article around various error handling strategies in Kotlin, in particular on how they compare to one another in terms of succinctness, readability, and overall cognitive complexity score. In this article I’ve also compared Arrow’s current typed-error handling approach, as well as one with context receivers presented at KotlinConf ’23 which seemingly also gaining some traction. This is a survey study from various programming trends in several developer cohorts in my friends/colleagues circle so it may or may not apply internationally. If you have an approach that you’d like to share, please drop them in the comment. As well if you noticed anything that wasn’t accurate or something that needs better clarification, please let me know in the comment! If you like the article please don’t forget to also share this to your colleagues, leave a comment perhaps several claps. https://medium.com/@mitchellyuwono/typed-error-handling-in-kotlin-11ff25882880

A new Reference Guide for

Fmodel

library is published! https://fraktalio.com/fmodel/

Fmodel

aims to bring functional, algebraic and reactive domain modeling to Kotlin. It is inspired by DDD, EventSourcing and Functional programming communities, yet implements these ideas and concepts in idiomatic Kotlin, which in turn makes our code • less error-prone, • easier to understand, • easier to test, • type-safe and • thread-safe.

Are you tired of manually deploying your #Kotlin apps? What if there would be a new compiler plugin that lets you apply custom transformations to your code before compilation, making the process much smoother? Interesting, hm? 🤔 More about it in this article by @marcinmoskala. https://kt.academy/article/kotlin-compiler-plugin-announcement

I’ve been having more fun with context receivers for transactions -

Im running through this tutorial https://kotlinlang.org/docs/multiplatform-full-stack-app.html#create-the-project right now

Introducing gtk-kn: GTK for Kotlin/Native We've been working on generating Kotlin Native bindings for GTK and other GObject Introspection-based libraries (Gio, Pango, Adwaita, GtkSourceView,...) A quick non-exhaustive list of what is already possible right now: • Build UI in code using widgets from the Gtk4 and Adwaita libraries • Load and use

.ui

resource files • Connect signal handlers • Use property binding on all objects and widgets • Work with `ListModel`/`ListStore`/`Listview` • Define your own

GObject

types with support for properties • Use various Gio abstractions including the file system API, menus, actions and resources We have not published the artefacts to MavenCentral yet. However, you can still use it in your projects by building locally and deploying to MavenLocal. The current focus is on Linux, but we're also looking at Windows/MacOS support in the future. We would love to hear some feedback on the project, so if you're interested in testing it out, head over to our GitLab page https://gitlab.com/gtk-kn/gtk-kn to learn more. Also, if you have any questions or want to get involved in development discussions, we mostly hang out on our Matrix room at https://matrix.to/#/#gtk-kn:matrix.org.
