So if the primary IDE that 99% of Kotlin programmers is not welcome here, where does one go to ask that kind of question. My apologies for being (surprisedly) off topic

You are heavily overestimating the people using Android Studio and doing Android development.
There are much more Kotlin developers than that.

Besides that this question is off-topic too and probably more suited for #meta. 😄

[Vampire]

But I guess an appropriate place to ask is some Android Studio forum or maybe even some Android community. You can find links to some in the subject of #android iirc.

The 99% maybe matches more to people using Gradle.
And Gradle questions are also out-of-scope, except when it is about using Kotlin within Gradle build scripts.

I was going to say the same thing, I read your question and I didn’t understand anything. 😅 The reason is probably that I work as a backend engineer, so, everything mobile-related gets blurry for me.

Travis was correct in principle, he just failed to notify us that he applied a 180 degrees rotation to the 66% of Kotlin devs who - according to the Kotlin Konf 2023 - keynote use Kotlin for Android:

(I myself also belong to the 1of5 Kotlin devs who use it server-site)

Not sure how I feel about those numbers adding up to 100. I use Kotlin for Android, server side, and 'other'.
