  • Support for iOS development is available in Kotlin Native (experimental)
  • There is a recent Python extension sample for Kotlin Native on GitHub (experimental)
  • Kotlin Native has been ported to WASM (experimental)
  • Gradle Kotlin DSL (used for writing Gradle build scripts in Kotlin) will have a stable release in Q1 2018
  • Bruce Eckel (VERY famous technical book author) is writing a book on Kotlin called Atomic Kotlin
  • There was a Kotlin Conference (KotlinConf) this year (150 talks) which sold out very quickly!; Here is the keynote
  • Kotlin JS has a library to support developing React apps (via a DSL)
