Kotlin 2.0: K2 and the Brilliant Future

In May 2024, Kotlin 2.0 finally shipped. While there were no major language changes, a super-performant new compiler frontend (codenamed K2) and a smooth migration path for users were introduced. There were also performance and stabilization enhancements of the language and libraries. In this talk, we will touch on what this means for Kotlin developers today.

However, the Kotlin (release) train does not stop at K2! Together with the passionate Kotlin community, JetBrains continues to evolve the language after 2.0, and the future is bright! We will also focus on the feast of things to be excited about in the upcoming roadmap: static extensions, collection literals, named-based destructuring, explicit fields, and context parameters.
