Shared Internals: Kotlin's New Proposal for Cross-Module Visibility Explore Kotlin's KEEP proposal for shared internal visibility. Learn how this new modifier enables cross-module visibility control while maintaining encapsulation from external consumers.

Thanks @androidweekly.bsky.social and @kotlinweekly.bsky.social for featuring my recent article, 'Shared Internals: Kotlin's New Proposal for Cross-Module Visibility'.

The KEEP proposal about the new visibility level sits between internal and public.

Is this an honest question or just more of the previous reductionism and condescension?

In any case, among others, we use Iterative Consensus. Running the same dataset through multiple models and prompt structures. Consistent results provide a high statistical confidence level.

Not really. We don't always use the same identifier for a contributor. It could be a first name, a full name, a nickname, or no name at all. Contributors write in corporate blogs, private blogs, and Reddit. This is not something you can track manually.

List of the top contributors to the Kotlin Weekly in 2025 (this required a few iterations with AI to get it right):

We used AI to scan our 2025 archives and highlight the most relevant Kotlin moments of the year. We then cross-checked the results with a second AI agent to validate their accuracy, without evaluating the editorial relevance of the content.

This is what we got 👇
