<p>Since we announced <a href="https://spring.io/blog/2017/01/04/introducing-kotlin-support-in-spring-framework-5-0">Spring Framework official support for Kotlin</a> in January 2017, a lot of things happened. Kotlin was announced as an official Android development language at Google I/O 2017, we continued to improve the Kotlin support across Spring portfolio and Kotlin itself has continued to evolve with key new features like <a href="https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/coroutines-overview.html">coroutines</a>.</p>

<p>I would like to take the opportunity of the <a href="https://spring.io/blog/2019/04/10/spring-framework-5-2-0-m1-available-now">first milestone of Spring Framework 5.2</a> to give a status overview of where we are when it comes to Spring and Kotlin. And I will make my best to focus on concrete improvements since I believe Spring and Kotlin share the same pragmatic mindset.</p>
