Kara Web Framework
Kara is a web framework for the JVM written in Kotlin. It enables developers to build succinct, type-safe HTML and CSS all in one language.
The article Type-safe Web with Kotlin by Andrey Breslav illustrates the benefits of such a framework.

Authors
The project was started by Tiny Mission, a small web and mobile development company hoping to use Kara as a help to work faster and write better code.
Currently, it is actively developed by JetBrains, the company behind Kotlin.
