Kotlin Symbol Processing (KSP) in Alpha now!

KSP offers similar functionality to KAPT, however it’s up to 2x faster, offers direct access to Kotlin compiler features, and is being developed with multiplatform compatibility in mind.

Accelerated Kotlin build times with Kotlin Symbol Processing 1.0

Kotlin Symbol Processing - KAPT replacement, that is faster and supports not only JVM (Kotlin/JS & Kotlin/Native are ready). Moshi & Room support KSP and I am waiting for KSP in Dagger

Kotlin Symbol Processors (KSP)

KSP becomes stable. JetBrains said that KSP better understands the syntax of Kotlin and does not need to take extra steps compare to KAPT.

The main news is that KAPT switch into support mode. No features or improvements. New features will only be in KSP and other Kotlin compiler plugins. They didn't say anything about KSP support in IDE.
