The language is also finding its place in the rapidly evolving AI space, where Kotlin\u2019s strengths, like static typing, null safety, and coroutines, take on new relevance. Kotlin is actively participating in the shift toward AI-assisted development: Among surveyed Kotlin developers, 93% use at least one AI coding tool, while 81% already use or are likely to try AI coding agents. An equal share \u2013 81% \u2013 say that AI-generated Kotlin code is fully correct or requires only minor fixes.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>State of Kotlin in 2026<\/em> report combines data from JetBrains research with independent industry data and real-world adoption evidence. Some findings confirmed what we expected; others challenged some familiar assumptions. While the language remains deeply established in Android development, more than half of Kotlin developers now report working on backend projects, highlighting how far its usage has expanded beyond mobile.<\/p>\n<p>Together, these findings point to a broader story: Kotlin\u2019s evolution isn\u2019t just about growth, but about how diverse its usage has become, spanning backend, multiplatform, AI-assisted development, and more. At the same time, the developer community itself has grown more experienced.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kotlinlang.org\/state-of-kotlin-2026\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=button&amp;utm_campaign=state-of-kotlin-26\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><\/i>State of Kotlin in 2026: Explore the highlights<\/a><\/p>\n<p>See what the data tells us about how Kotlin has evolved and where its ecosystem stands today.<\/p>\n<p>Read the full report \u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/kotlinlang.org\/assets\/state-of-kotlin-2026.pdf?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=state-of-kotlin-26\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/kotlinlang.org\/assets\/state-of-kotlin-2026.pdf?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=state-of-kotlin-26\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download the State of Kotlin in 2026 PDF<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <a href=\"#\"><\/a> <\/section>\n<div>\n<p><h2>Discover more<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Fuente: <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.jetbrains.com\/kotlin\/2026\/09\/state-of-kotlin-2026-report\/\">Art\u00edculo original<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News The State of Kotlin in 2026 Report In 2026, Kotlin turned fifteen.
