In the first part of the meeting, Ivan spoke about the motives for migrating code from Java to Kotlin , about the sequence of steps for doing this, about the pitfalls of using the built-in IntelliJ IDEA converter, about his recommendations based on the experience gained, mentioning the advantages and disadvantages of migrating to Kotlin .







After the break, Yuri presented a report on writing plugins for IntelliJ IDEA . The report was an extended version of his presentation at the recent Joker 2019 conference. Since on the first day of the conference I was not able to get to Yuri's report, on the weekend before the meeting jug.msk.ru watched a video of the speech. I recommend that you pay close attention to the last four slides of the newer version of the report :











In a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, there was the opportunity to talk during the break and after meeting both with the speakers and with the participants of the JetBrains development team who were present in the hall.
