Bend is an interactive programming environment (REPL) built on top of the Kotlin language, designed to allow users to explore, experiment, and learn Kotlin in a live, feedback-driven manner. The tool lets you define variables, functions, or values at the prompt and iteratively refine them—immediately seeing output and types—while preserving state across commands. It emphasizes discoverability and experimentation: users can inspect functions, call them on sample inputs, and evolve logic without a full project scaffold. ...

...The language is embeddable, meaning it can run inside applications (Java, Swift, Go, etc.) to load configuration dynamically with the same safety guarantees. There’s also code generation support: writing Pkl modules can generate matching classes or data structures in target languages (Swift, Go, Java, Kotlin) so runtime config and statically typed code stay in sync.

...Support for multiplatform programming is one of Kotlin’s key benefits. It reduces time spent writing and maintaining the same code for different platforms while retaining the flexibility and benefits of native programming. Kotlin plugin is intended to work with several recent versions of IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio. Each platform is allowed to have a different set of features and might provide a slightly different API. Instead of using several parallel Git branches, the project stores everything in a single branch, but files may have counterparts with version extensions (*.as32, *.172, *.181). ...
