Given JetBrains has been around for 15+ years, and given that it was a change in the model in moving to subscription, it was aimed to make the transition as smooth as possible for existing customers and that is why they get the 2nd year fre

You can purchase annual subscriptions also.

We've never had a free option for non-corporate users. We provide free licenses for Students, OSS projects and certain other groups. In addition, we give discounts of 50% for start-ups. All of that will continue.

Could you please link to the FAQ entry for this?

Given the constraints we imposed on our decision, I'd say that number was quite lower.

by hhariri 11y ago
We've not converted entire code bases, but based on what we're doing and feedback from others, we could say roughly around 35% or so.

The three founders of JetBrains started a plugin named Renamer out of need, while working with Java code at TogetherSoft. That was over 15 years ago.

Your brain dump is fantastic feedback for us. Can really help us improve the getting started and docs. Thanks for this!

Are you referring to labels or annotations? Annotations now use @. Labels are label@, break@label still remains.

But how's that making it less fully-fledged? Actually maybe I should first ask what you mean by full-fledged :)

Scala was our primary candidate, but there were issues back then, namely in terms of compiler performance and also tooling. Tooling isn't easy for Scala, and I believe compiler speed, Kotlin is already faster than Scala in terms. Also,

To summarize, we were looking for a language that could cut down our code base (IntelliJ platform and server side tools are written in Java), be concise but still expressive, toolable, as fast as Java, easy ramp-up time, and very important,

The minor version represents a milestone, currently at 12 and each of these is considerable effort, in terms of decisions and implementation of language features (as well as tooling).

In what sense don't you view it as full-fledged?

Are you referring to Android Studio or IntelliJ IDEA? We will be shipping Kotlin bundled in IntelliJ IDEA 15. Regarding Android Studio, we don't develop Android Studio for Google. Google does. We develop IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition

At JetBrains we're using Kotlin on a few projects now. Some of them are internal, some are public facing. In addition, some of our existing (and new) products are now using Kotlin. IntelliJ IDEA 15 will be shipping with Kotlin plugin e

TBH, given the fact that age has no impact on decisions when people join (and quite apparent given the range of ages we have at JetBrains) I'm not even sure why this is on there. I'll inquire into it.

Curious about this. What did you find funny? Was this on an Android project?

by hhariri 12y ago
One reason would be if you prefer static typing.

by hhariri 12y ago
Minor correction. We don't make Android Studio. Android Studio is based off of the IntelliJ IDEA platform, which is what we develop.

Java 8 does introduce a few features that are available in Kotlin, but AFAIK Java 8 won't be available for Android for some time. In addition, Kotlin makes a lot of constructs more succinct, including but not limited class definitions.

Thanks. The API docs are being revamped as I mentioned and those things we hope to solve. We're also working on tutorials for JS. Right now you can see info on JS here: http://hadihariri.com/2013/10/16/wr

Absolutely not! :) In fact under the Features, if you scroll to Versatile card, it's there. We're also working on Android tutorials.
