2. 02 Design Centric Engineer Brian Odhiambo Dishwasher @ Baobab Circle Co-organizer @ KotlinKenya Maintaining @ KotlinBits Yeah am all about that UI/UX & Kotlin
3. Kotlin Symbol Processing Better code generation Kotlin DSL Fluid build management What's New 03 K2 Compiler Faster compilations "Phew 😮‍💨 . There's nothing about AI "
4. The K2 Compiler Faster compilations & builds
5. Default compiler with Kotlin 2.0 2x faster than the current compiler fields static extensions More language features From Kotlin 1.9.x K2 Beta with Compose & KSP Integrated in Android Studio 2024 😒😒😒 Kotlin 2.0 compiler
6. Try It Out Give feedback // inside build.gradle.kts kotlin { sourceSets.all { languageSettings{ languageVersion = "2.0" } } }
7. The Kotlin DSL For you Gradle builds
8. Default option from Giraffe Precise code hinting syntax errors during editing Available documentation Kotlin DSL for Gradle Builds
9. Default option from Giraffe Precise code hinting syntax errors during editing Available documentation Optional version catalogs Kotlin DSL for Gradle Builds
10. The Kotlin Symbol Processing Better code generation
11. Kotlin Code Java Stubs Java Annotation Processors Kotlin Symbol Processing Kotlin Code Kotlin Processors Kotlin Annotation Processing Tool (KAPT) Kotlin Symbol Processing (KSP)
12. 2X faster than KAPT Benefits from Kotlin language features Mutliplatform ready 👌👌👌 Incremental migration Caveat You can only see performance boost if you're full KSP Kotlin Symbol Processing
13. One Last Thing For the open source community
14. Kotlin Foundation 😎 Protect, promote and advance the development of the Kotlin programming language kotlinfoundation.org
