Uber Becomes Kotlin™ Foundation Silver Member

23 May / Global

We’re delighted to share that Uber has joined the Kotlin^™ Foundation as a Silver Member.

Uber’s commitment to Kotlin is evident in our codebase. We are actively contributing to the Kotlin ecosystem, including the development of integrations for Kotlin with build systems like Buck, Bazel, and Gradle. Uber has also contributed to Detekt’s development and initiated the creation of its compiler plugin version.

“We are thrilled to join the Kotlin Foundation, underscoring our commitment to the Kotlin community and our belief in Kotlin as a core part of the tech stack that has helped make Uber successful. We have millions of lines of Kotlin code and hundreds of enthusiastic developers writing in it daily. As early adopters, starting back in 2018, and active contributors, we are proud to have helped mature the ecosystem and look forward to continued collaboration with this vibrant, friendly, and innovative community.”
Ty Smith, Principal Engineer at Uber

Beyond contributing to Kotlin, Uber helped establish the enterprise Java-to-Kotlin working group, a collaboration among Meta, Google, JetBrains, and Uber, with the goal of providing companies with the tooling and expertise needed to migrate large legacy Java codebases to Kotlin.

As a Silver Member, Uber will play a crucial role in supporting the Foundation’s initiatives, including the Grants program for open-source library authors and the Kotlin Multiplatform Contest for students. We are excited to collaborate with the Kotlin Foundation on future projects.
