Andrey Breslav and Dmitry Zhemerov on Kotlin 1.0 on jug.msk.ru

On March 17, 2016, a meeting of jug.msk.ru with Andrey Breslav and Dmitry Zhemerov was held, dedicated to the release of version 1.0 of the Kotlin programming language. The following describes the meeting in more detail.




About speakers

Below is a list of video reports of Andrew, who managed to find:

I gave two presentations in person at conferences, another one in the recording. To my great surprise, the last one in the list of reports is not at all technical.

Dmitry Zhemerov ( yole ) has been working at JetBrains since 2003 (he went to Google for a while and came back), having managed to participate in many projects of the company, in IntelliJ IDEA in particular. Now Dmitry leads the development team of Kotlin -plagina and writes the book Kotlin in Action (in collaboration with Svetlana Isakova).

A few more personal projects are listed on his website (including Syndirella , about which bobuk mentioned recently).

Reports Dmitry, who managed to find:

Of these, only one conference report was viewed in the notes and interviews from the “Without Slides” series.

Most recently, Andrei and Dmitriy together gave a talk “Kotlin 1.0” at a meeting of JUG.ru in St. Petersburg — an article with a video of the talk.

About the report


Before meeting for several evenings I read the description of the language , looked at examples , tried to write code. There is support for Ant (already an anachronism), Maven and Gradle . Using the language is quite nice. Integration with IntelliJ IDEA , of course, is quite good.

I managed to listen to three releases of podcasts, in which speakers were noted, presenting version 1.0 of the Kotlin language:

The St. Petersburg video on JUG.ru had a chance to watch earlier too. The content was largely the same, but there were differences. The last part (of questions and answers), of course, was completely different.



As in St. Petersburg, the performance consisted of four parts:

During the break, students could communicate with the speakers.



I suppose that the most interesting part for Andrey and Dmitry was the question and answer session. I hope that for the speakers there was also some element of surprise, since interesting questions were. I was surprised that there are already people (except JetBrains ) who actively use language in industrial exploitation.

It is very good that the microphone was given to those who asked questions - it was heard that they were asking. The recorded video can be comfortably listened without straining while trying to hear the questions.



Thanks to Andrei Breslav and Dmitry Zhemerov for an interesting report, Andrei Kogun ( jug.msk.ru , KROK ) and Roman Belov ( JetBrains ) - for organizing the event.
