Update: Kotlin is now natively supported by reactor-core and reactor-test without requiring any additional extensions.

I am excited to announce the release of the first milestone of Reactor Kotlin Extensions, which provides Kotlin extensions for Reactor API.

It provides support for Kotlin types like KClass, takes advantage of Kotlin reified type parameters and provide various extensions to allow more expressive code. You can see bellow a quick comparaison of Reactor with Java versus Reactor with Kotlin + extensions.

…

Java	Kotlin with extensions
`Mono.just("foo")`	`"foo".toMono()`
`Flux.fromIterable(list)`	`list.toFlux()`
`Mono.error(new RuntimeException())`	`RuntimeException().toMono()`
`Flux.error(new RuntimeException())`	`RuntimeException().toFlux()`
`flux.ofType(Foo.class)`	`flux.ofType<Foo>()` or `flux.ofType(Foo::class)`
`StepVerifier.create(flux).verifyComplete()`	`flux.test().verifyComplete()`

With the Spring Boot stack you can kickstart your Spring project in a matter of minutes. For both developers using Spring and microservices adopters, Spring Boot has been a resounding success.
