Welcome to the Kotlin roadmap! Get a sneak peek into the priorities of the JetBrains Team.

Key priorities

The goal of this roadmap is to give you the big picture. Here's a list of our key focus areas – the most important directions we are focused on delivering:

  • Language evolution: more efficient data handling, increased abstraction, enhanced performance with clear code.

  • Kotlin Multiplatform: release direct Kotlin to Swift Export, streamlined build setup, and simplified creation of multiplatform libraries.

  • Experience of third-party ecosystem authors: simplified development and publication process for Kotlin libraries, tools, and frameworks.
