Does anyone know if there ever could be support for coding Kotlin in Visual Studio. Does JetBrains have any plans for developing any Visual Studio “plugin” for that?

Thanks!

I do not think that JetBrains is interested in supporting its rivals. And I do not think it is a good idea to invest efforts in so many directions at once. Also I think that kotlin community reached the stage, when it could provide for itself, like doing its own IDE plugins.

Have you seen [this article](https://adtmag.com/blogs/dev-watch/2017/06/vs-code-kotlin.aspx)?

Maybe. I was thinking and hoping they maybe would as they are already making tools for .Net/Visual Studio.
