This is amazing news. The inability to write Kotlin in emacs was the only thing stopping me from using the language.

I really hope that this means that we can some day get a Jetbrains Java LSP. I would pay for an Intellij Ultimate subscription just to get access to such a thing.

i love emacs, but nowadays i would argue most languages are far better supported outside emacs, with few exception like lisps

so being strictly emacs, will really limit your choices, and honestly waste your time

Perhaps its better to say there is very little "out of the box" wrt language support, but otherwise I am not quite sure what you mean for >90% of situations. Eglot + the right lsp server gets you really far these days.

I currently rock a setup, as a Java dev, where I do as much as I can in emacs but have a binding to jump to the current line in Intellij. I find myself switching between the 2 without too much friction. It's mostly just committing in Intellij and having pre-commit checks analyze my changes.

What do you love about emacs, if I may ask? Bit hard to guess what you could mean, given your subsequent claims there.
