<!channel> 📣 📣 📣
The one year wait is over, Kotlin 1.1 with coroutines, JS and quite a bit of small features is here! Please see details in blog post, https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2017/03/kotlin-1-1/

Those who were brave enough to try our pre-release builds – big thanks from the whole team to you! 👏 And don’t forget to update your dependencies to released build and publish your libraries to public repositories. Some people could be waiting for your library to be updated before they can jump on the release build.

I would also like to take a chance of global announcement and thank every one of you for your support, community involvement, helping us shape the language and tooling around it, your support to newcomers, talks you’ve been doing, and otherwise spreading the word! We look forward to the next year of Kotlin evolution and adoption. With you!

orangy: so it means, I'll be able to write NodeJs and AngularJs apps with Kotlin?

There are still some rough edges with JS tooling, but in theory yes, you can. We will publish more info on JS toolchain in the following weeks. You know, webpack 1 or 2, this kind of ever moving JS world 🙂
