Definition
Kotlin is a statically typed JVM (and multiplatform) language developed by jetbrains, widely used for Android and backend development.
Key Points
- JetBrains Research prototypes (e.g. kotlinllm) experiment with LLM-generated durable Kotlin at runtime
- Apache 2.0 ecosystem and IntelliJ tooling dominate the developer experience
- Distinct from production JetBrains AI product suites (jetbrains AI for Teams)
