The introduction of Kotlin-Lsp marks a significant development for Kotlin developers using Visual Studio Code. This initiative by JetBrains represents a cautious step forward, as they traditionally prioritize their own IDEs. User comments reflect a mix of optimism and skepticism regarding the long-term sustainability of this endeavor, considering potential competition with JetBrains' main products. The support for an official language server may enhance the Kotlin experience in VSCode, bridging the gap between developers who prefer lightweight editors over full-fledged IDEs. However, ongoing support and commitment from JetBrains will be vital for its success, as some users doubt their dedication to maintaining this integration given their existing products.
