Congrats on the release! I reviewed Javalin lately and it was high on my list. We use quite a bit of Kotlin and look for a framework. I really dislike the magic that annotations bring to most popular Java frameworks (and Hibernate). I prefer most is just code". Kotlin helped us a lot in making our code more type safe, especially the KProperty way of referring to methods made a difference.

Though I ended up leaning towards KTor, with Javalin as a close second.

How would anyone with more knowledge compare the two (Javalin and KTor)?

I'd love to hear more on this as well. While I've done some minor stuff with Ktor, because JetBrains, I too would love some insight related to these as well.
