setting up a new project, should I use the alpha? furthermore, is this project still the recommended tool to do static analysis in kotlin? is there anything official from jetbrains that is supposed to supersede this?

[gammax]

yes alpha has support for the latest Kotlin versions.

[gammax]

This is community maintained. JetBrains has a ton of static analysis tools built into the IDE or inside the compiler

[Bernhard]

@gammax right, but nothing that does the job of detekt in the upcoming kotlin toolchain, correct? I think they're gonna ship a code formatter

[gammax]

Correct as far as I know

[Bernhard]

tried the alpha and let it be, docs are incorrect

[gammax]

In which way? Please send a PR also, docs are open source
