Hello, I’m a newcomer here in X! Let me introduce myself! I work in JetBrains in Amper team. And here is my background:
I graduated Siberian State Aerospace University, which already doesn’t exist, because it was merged with Technological University of Krasnoyarsk

Why you need to learn Kotlin
In these turbulent times, when investors are waiting for better conditions, software development industry suffers from over budgeting
The more and more demand for fullstack development to cut costs
And this is where kotlin/multiplatform comes in

Now, It's time to evaluate kotlin/multiplatform as your next fullstack tecnnology
Now it's becoming closer to a whole fullstack UI story including desktop (jvm), iOS, android and web (Wasm)
Considering the fact you also have ktor (or even Spring, for a god sake, sorry), you

I bet on compose/multiplatform
Now this technology is not as popular as flutter, or react/native, but from technological perspective it’s a unicorn
So if you want to to get in to this train, learn kotlin

Why opening Gradle projects could be slow
To import project in IDE you need basically 3 things:
- Module structure
- Location of sources
- Dependencies
- Additional metadata (language settings, kmp fragments and dependencies between them, etc)

One more tip how to do open source on your job:

Don’t learn new programming language every year
Learn concepts which significantly differs from what you already know
For instance, you know Java, it’s a language with automatic memory management, learn language without it
Or Java is OOP lang, learn functional, for example
