📢The Kotlin 2.0.0-RC1 release is out! Starting from Kotlin 2.0.0-RC1, you can use the K2 compiler in production. https://t.co/fxA4wLj5xq

🗻This release mostly covers the stabilization of the new Kotlin K2 compiler. In addition, there are new features in Kotlin/Wasm and Kotlin/JS, as well as improvements for the Gradle build tool.

⚙️ The Kotlin plugins that support 2.0.0-RC1 are bundled in the latest IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio. You don't need to update the Kotlin plugin in your IDE. All you need to do is to change the Kotlin version to 2.0.0-RC1 in your build scripts.

🔜 The upcoming 2.0.0-RC2 release will further increase the stability of the K2 compiler. If you are currently using K2 in your project, we encourage you to stay updated on Kotlin releases and experiment with the updated K2 compiler.

📣 Update on the name of Kotlin Multiplatform

From now on, “Kotlin Multiplatform” (KMP) is the preferred term when referring to the Kotlin technology for sharing code, regardless of the combination of platforms being discussed.

We are deprecating the “Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile” (KMM) product name to resolve the long-standing issues of naming inconsistency and abbreviation confusion that have puzzled many Kotlin developers over the past two years.

Kotlin Multiplatform is excellent for sharing code across multiple platforms, not just iOS and Android. It enables you to share code with desktop and server-side as well. Moreover, we are actively developing Kotlin/Wasm to facilitate modern web development with Kotlin Multiplatform. When used alongside Compose Multiplatform, which supports Android, desktop, iOS (Alpha), and web (Experimental), you gain more freedom and can opt to share 100% of your codebase – all in Kotlin.

@jetbrains aims to deliver further improvements for Kotlin Multiplatform and Compose Multiplatform, making this combo the ultimate choice for sharing code between platforms.

It allows you to use @materialdesign WindowSizeClass on various platforms supported by Compose Multiplatform. #composemultiplatform

I just discovered the new Device Mirroring feature in Android Studio Flamingo. I can see and interact with my device directly from Android Studio. Since I'm mostly working with remote devices, I'm really loving this feature #AndroidStudio #AndroidDev

Are you using sealed classes that don't store any properties themselves? Consider making them sealed interfaces instead!

[Gabor Varadi @Zhuinden]

I'm excited to see the END of backing properties in Kotlin with Kotlin 1.7.0 once and for all.

Never liked backing properties and the _prefix. Always went out of my way to avoid the _.

Finally, a new language feature will eliminate any/all need for them. Good news for Kotlin.
