KotlinLLM is Going Open Source
TL;DR KotlinLLM is now public. It’s a research prototype for delegating runtime logic to an LLM from Kotlin code. Instead of calling an LLM on every request or running a separate agent, you can write an explicit Kotlin call. Its body is generated Kotlin source code, and that code is updated as your application hits […]

The History of Kodee, Kotlin’s Mascot
A few years back, the Kotlin team figured it was time their programming language had a mascot – something fun and friendly to make developers feel more at home. After all, so many other programming languages have their own characters – Gofer, elePHPant, Dart’s Dash, or Rust’s Ferris, for example. Bringing Kodee to life wasn’t […]

Introducing the Kotlin Benchmark for AI Coding Agents
Agentic coding benchmarks are getting closer to real-world software development. For Kotlin teams, the most important question is how reliably AI agents can complete end-to-end Kotlin tasks, from reading an issue to producing a solution that passes validation. We’re taking the first step in addressing that gap by releasing the Kotlin Benchmark, JetBrains’ official benchmark […]

val name = "stranger" // Declare your first variable
println("Hi, $name!") // ...and use it!
print("Current count:")
