The SDK provides observability support for Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) projects on Android, iOS, and JavaScript via a single standardized API, giving the cloud-native community a vendor-neutral Kotlin implementation.
Carnegie Mellon University has introduced Fray, a concurrency testing tool for JVM programs to catch bugs and replay them.

Prepare to be surprised when we compare Python and Kotlin for simple programs, loops, imports, exceptions, and more. You can also get a super early preview of Python's next-generation (Python 3.15) sampling profiler, get up close with AWS's new AI-powered Zed editor, and explore your options for AI/ML programming outside of the Python ecosystem.
