About:
The Kotlin Language Server is a backend implementation of the Language Server Protocol for Kotlin. It provides rich IDE-like features such as autocompletion, diagnostics, and code navigation to any editor that supports LSP. This enables developers to get intelligent Kotlin support in lightweight editors like Vim, Emacs, or Sublime Text.
Key Features:
  • Code completion and signature help
  • Real-time error checking and diagnostics
  • Go to definition and find references
  • Refactoring support (rename, extract method)
  • Integrated build tool support (Gradle/Maven)
Use Cases:
  • Using Kotlin in lightweight editors like Vim or Neovim
  • Integrating Kotlin support into custom IDEs or editors
  • Standardizing language features across different development environments
Alternatives:
  • intellij-community – Provides a full IDE experience but is much heavier than a LSP-based workflow.
  • kotlin-lsp – An older, unmaintained implementation; fwcd/kotlin-language-server is the more active fork.
