    The main difference is kotlin runs on the jvm and mixes with all the other java just fine, so all they're doing is shipping android studio with support for it. The support that was already in IntelliJ presumably. What else do they need to do?

    What else do they need to do? Stop being Jews and offer their IntelliJ pro servlet support for free. Cuz fuck those niggas, Eclipse is just as good.
