Some of these features will roll out in 2020.1, and others will appear in releases later during the year. Localiz

The results of these efforts are going to be released over the next year, some as soon as in the 2020.1 release in the spring.

Today, we'd like to present two new projects: a Gradle plugin integrating Kotlin with npm, webpack and karma, and a f
