# Features

+ Fast (at least faster than Emacs/Eclipse/IntelliJ/CLion/VSCode/Atom)
+ Lightweight (Just a tiny Java Swing application)
+ Kotlin compiler integration (**100% correct parsing**)
+ JetBrains IDE icons
+ Build as jar/class files, run after build, just one click
+ Cross platform (windows/macos/linux), just an executable jar
+ One property-based configuration file, hackable
+ Experimental Java support
+ Plugin system based on `ServiceLoader`

Just a simple comparison:

See https://devkt-plugins.github.io

To install a plugin, just add the jar in the classpath, and you don't need to do anything else.
