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.
Air, now free for MacOS with Linux and Windows versions coming soon, is an agentic development environment, or ADE, built on the idea of integrating the essential tools for managing coding agents into a single coherent experience. Serving as a single workspace where Claude Agent, Gemini CLI, Codex, and Junie CLI can work side-by-side, Air helps developers navigate a codebase and easily switch back and forth between different coding agents.
Tracy is compatible with Kotlin from version 2.0.0 and Java from version 17. Integrations can be made with SDKs from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini. The library also works with common Kotlin/LLM stacks including OkHttp and Ktor clients, as well as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini ones.
As a high-level description, Swift is an ahead-of-time compiled, memory-safe, multi-paradigm programming language. Swift uses reference counting for memory management instead of garbage collection, and has recently added support for limited lifetime analysis. Finally, Swift leans heavily on types with value semantics by leveraging copy-on-write. This enables powerful local reasoning, as value types are either mutable or shared, but not both.
The web is full of AI assistants that appear to understand application UIs, user data, and intent. In practice, however, most of these systems operate outside the application itself. When you try to build one from scratch, you quickly run into a core limitation: large language models have no native understanding of your React state, component hierarchy, or business logic.
Also in version 1.10.0, Compose Multiplatform now uses the Web Cache API to cache successful responses for static assets and string resources. This avoids the delays associated with the browser's default cache, which validates stored content through repeated HTTP requests and can be slow on low-bandwidth connections. The cache is cleared on every app launch or page refresh to ensure resources remain consistent with the application's current state. This capability is an experimental feature.
High-level view of the travel search workflow, highlighting parallel searches, explicit decision points, and iterative refinement. In Scala, we define this workflow using Workflows4s, encoding both state and transitions explicitly in the type system. Instead of opaque state blobs or untyped contexts, the state of the process is represented using algebraic data types - types like Started, Found, Sent, and Booked - each corresponding to a distinct point in the workflow's lifecycle.
We're pleased to announce the release of Scala 3.8 - a significant release that modernizes the Scala ecosystem and paves the way for Scala 3.9 LTS. This release introduces a standard library compiled by Scala 3 itself, stabilizes highly-anticipated features like Better Fors (SIP-62) and runtimeChecked (SIP-57), and introduces experimental features including flexible varargs and strict equality pattern matching. A runtime regression was detected after publishing Scala 3.8.0 artifacts.
From the discussions in the Jakarta EE Platform call[s] the last couple of weeks, it looks like we won't see a release of Jakarta EE 12 on this side of summer (on the Northern Hemisphere at least). The reason is that since Jakarta EE 11 was delayed by a year, most of the vendors are currently working on their implementations.
Software development used to be simpler, with fewer choices about which platforms and languages to learn. You were either a Java, .NET, or LAMP developer. You focused on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. Full-stack developers learned the intricacies of selected JavaScript frameworks, relational databases, and CI/CD tools. In the best of times, developers advanced their technology skills with their employer's funding and time to experiment. They attended conferences, took courses, and learned the low-code development platforms their employers invested in.
