Does Kotlin support catch multiple exceptions similar to Java now?

yeah, the best we have right now is to catch Exception and then

when

on the exceptions internally:

try {
  // ...
} catch (e: Exception) {
  when(e) {
    is IllegalStateException, IllegalArgumentException -> {
      // ...
    }
    else -> throw e
}

not the same, but you may also consider

runCatching{}

.
