Elide, the Kotlin-native runtime and build toolchain, has released 1.0.0-beta8, with many bugfixes and new support for Kotlin Power Assert and MCP! Elide is a Node or Python-like runtime (a binary on your machine), which is an end-to-end toolchain and runner:

• JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Kotlin, Java, all in one runtime
• Powered by insanely good engine from GraalVM
• Install Maven dependencies
• Run tests without hassle; easy coverage and other features
In this release we also added MCP integration, and a website builder. MCP integration lets tools like Claude Code interrogate your project. AI agents automatically know where your code is, how to build it, and how to run tests. It's pretty cool!

We are all Kotlin authors ourselves and so this community is very close to our hearts. If you have feedback or ideas, come join our Discord and tell us. We'll build them!
