The digest also marks Kotlin’s 15th anniversary with free access for new Hyperskill users to its Kotlin catalog through October 9, previews the free IntelliJ IDEA Conf 2026 on September 8–9 with sessions on Java, Kotlin, AI workflows, tooling, and performance, and features an interview with Python Software Foundation director Sheena O’Connell on the continued importance of fundamentals and project-based learning in the age of AI.
