ISSUE #408

26th of May 2024

AND IT IS A WRAP! We are so glad we had the chance of attending KotlinConf this year and be back in Copenhagen. After such an energetic event it is easy to feel insufflated with motivation and new ideas to put in practice. We wrote an article with a summary of some of the most relevant announcements that you can read here. Expect more content related to the KotlinConf during the upcoming weeks. We had a pleasure meeting some of you, and we are looking forward to 2025.
