### Kotlin turned 15: Leave a birthday wish

This one is close to my heart – Kotlin recently turned 15! To mark the milestone, we’re inviting the whole community to celebrate. You can create a birthday postcard, upload a photo to party with me, and share a wish or a prediction for Kotlin’s next chapter. Now is the perfect moment to look back at how far we’ve come – and to look ahead together.
