   * **Dart now officially supported**: Dart was always working, but now tests were added, and it is promoted to "officially supported"
   * **Rust now uses already installed rustup**: The rust-analyzer is no longer bundled with Serena. Instead, it uses the rust-analyzer from your Rust toolchain managed by rustup. This ensures compatibility with your Rust version and eliminates outdated bundled binaries.
   * **Kotlin now officially supported**: We now use the official Kotlin LS, tests run through and performance is good, even though the LS is in an early development stage. 
+  * **Add support for Erlang** experimental, may hang or be slow, uses the recently archived [erlang_ls](https://github.com/erlang-ls/erlang_ls)
 
 * Client support:
   * New mode `oaicompat-agent` and extensions in the openai tool compatibility, **permitting Serena to work with llama.cpp**

   * PHP (uses Intelephense LSP; set `INTELEPHENSE_LICENSE_KEY` environment variable for premium features)
   * Go (requires installation of gopls)
   * Rust (requires [rustup](https://rustup.rs/) - uses rust-analyzer from your toolchain)

   * Swift
+  * Kotlin (uses the pre-alpha [official kotlin LS](https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlin-lsp), some issues may appear)
   * Java (_Note_: startup is slow, initial startup especially so. There may be issues with java on macos and linux, we are working on it.)

 Support for further languages can easily be added by providing a shallow adapter for a new language server implementation,
 see Serena's [memory on that](.serena/memories/adding_new_language_support_guide.md).
