  • Kotlin is a much better language than Java even with all the new stuff Java has added.
    1 project | /r/Kotlin | 11 Dec 2023
    There's a community-made one, but of course as much effort as has been put into it it's not as featureful as JetBrains's own stuff.
  • Noob here, would neovim work for my usecase
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 9 Dec 2023
    Kotlin is probably the worst case for Neovim. While there is a language server for Kotlin, it's not very advanced and does not look like it's actively developed.
  • Kotlin on VScode, intellij, or android studio?
    1 project | /r/Kotlin | 23 Jun 2023
    Hi, if you are going to do Kotlin the easiest choice is android studio with Kotlin plugin. Using Vscode is more tricky because Jetbrains does not want to support lsp for Kotlin so you only have https://github.com/fwcd/kotlin-language-server available to write Kotlin on Vscode.
  • I LOVE Rust's exception handling
    3 projects | /r/rust | 10 May 2023
    Kotlin Language Server puts a warning on this code, because the bar inside the lambda shadows the function argument bar. Flow typing solves this problem by eliminating the need to redefine bar as a new non-nullable variable in the branch where we've verified it's non-nullable.
  • Kotlin is tightly linked to IntelliJ and that's a risk
    4 projects | /r/Kotlin | 22 Jan 2023
    You want to change something about that? Go and help over at the kotin lsp server. It's maintained, and welcomes contributions. I sometimes use it in my day job (writing Kotlin backend code)
  • Kotlin 1.8.0 Released
    1 project | /r/programming | 17 Jan 2023
    There is https://github.com/fwcd/kotlin-language-server, but I wouldn't expect something more official from a company that refuse to support LSP in their IDEs. JetBrains is the Apple of the IDE world.
  • What are best plugins for C++, Java, Kotlin, Python, & LaTex
    9 projects | /r/neovim | 30 Dec 2022
    Oddly enough, we use mostly the same languages. However, I would advise against using neovim with Kotlin: its language server has an excessive memory usage and its debugger is cumbersome with neovim (I haven't managed to get it working, and currently it also lacks an entry in nvim-dap's wiki).
  • From zero to 10M lines of Kotlin
    9 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 25 Oct 2022
    I'll bring up the Kotlin LSP[0] every time I see Kotlin on HN because I really hope the LSP takes off (which would make it viable to use Kotlin with a non-IntelliJ editor).

    Kotlin as a language looks really cool, but I don't want to give up terminal-based, modal editing (which I'd have to in order to use IntelliJ).

    Along those lines, I once tried diving into using Gradle outside IntelliJ, and I couldn't find any good resources to help with that. If folks have hints/links-to-blog-posts with regards to that as well, that'd be great!

  • Idea: Jetbrains Fleet's Code Engine as an LSP?
    4 projects | /r/neovim | 15 Oct 2022
    I've tried [this Kotlin LSP](https://github.com/fwcd/kotlin-language-server) and it isn't perfect. It's not complete, but it does some of the basic things.
  • Kotlin language server doesn't work ("0 client(s) attached to this buffer")
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 3 Jun 2022
    I've downloaded kotlin language server from here: https://github.com/fwcd/kotlin-language-server

  • What are Vim users using?
    1 project | /r/Kotlin | 1 Dec 2023
    I saw a post here about 7 years ago asking this same question, and wondering if there is any updated guidance. I'm a Vim user, and I see kotlin-vim. Is this what everybody is using? Or is there a better experience elsewhere (e.g. neovim)? Thanks!
  • My Neovim does a bad job of indenting kotlin
    1 project | /r/neovim | 1 Jan 2023
    vim-kotlin You can try this one.
  • 639 lines of careful .vimrc configurations and its better than any IDE.
    4 projects | /r/vim | 22 Jun 2022
    coc plugin that I have implemented in my vim configuration has language servers for both java and kotlin and they are very good from what I hear. I use coc language servers for web development and I find it very nice. As for syntax and indentation of kotlin there is this plugin that takes care of that. Same goes for C#. There is also the 'youcompleteme' plugin which is a larger download than coc but its more complete.
