It is quite common to use existing frameworks and libraries for backend application development. If we look at most of the popular frameworks in the Java ecosystem, many of them actually support Kotlin out of the box. There are a lot of Java libraries too. You can use these frameworks and libraries in your Kotlin programs thanks to Kotlin’s flawless Java interoperability. Kotlin is an excellent choice for server-side application development. Go to the Kotlin for server-side page to learn more! This blog post is partially based on presentation content from the Kotlin 1.4 Online Event. You ca

With the official release fast approaching, we continue to add missing features to Space. One feature that was missing was the ability for third-party developers to extend Space. With the introduction of Space Applications, we’ve filled that gap.

As developers, we're in a neverending struggle to find a balance between style and substance. The tabs vs. spaces argument even found its way into pop culture during Season 3 of HBO's Silicon Valley. We understand that style can be a point of debate within teams. While the codebase's style might not impact the runtime execution of applications, it can have measurable impacts on team productivity. With Rider's latest release, we will empower developers to auto-detect and configure their coding style preferences in a few simple steps, and maybe, avoid a few heated debates on style. Let's take a
