Hey hey.
I accidentally stumbled upon the IDEA release notes today and found this:

Kotlin modules are back! With v2023.3, it is once again possible to add Kotlin modules to your project, meaning that you can create multi-module Kotlin projects with ease. We will continue to improve the reworked functionality.

Can anyone explain what does that mean? Like... I'm using Kotlin (Gradle) modules all the time. So what does the "Kotlin module" mean in this context?

I think it refers to the new module window, I recall some people mentioned that it doesn't offer an option to create a kotlin module anymore. Left screenshot is previous stable IJ, right is EAP

Ooh, I see. Thank you 🙇

Didn't know it was gone?

[Nikolay Pachkov]

Adam, we hid the ability to add a Kotlin module via UI over a year ago because it didn’t work well. In 2023.3, the functionality has been reintroduced.
