Anyone want to guess who?

I'll start: Jetbrains?

Still don't get why JetBrains hasn't been folded into the Alphabet family yet.

I’m failing to identify the benefit for the buyer here. What’s your reasoning?

Kotlin and Android Studio are intrinsic to the Android development experience.

Why pay for what they get for free, then?

That's a fair question. Still, you often see companies snap up those who build premier developer tools for their ecosystems.

Probably were waiting to see how the company dealt with the sanctions on Russia first.

Brains are twisted: JetBrains closed its last legal entity in St. Petersburg - https://www-dp-ru.translate.goog/a/2023/03/01/Mozgi_svernuli...

True, but I was expecting Google to have bought them like a decade ago!

I wonder if Microsoft grabs them.

Sad, because GitLab was great for awhile. Then they stopped fixing bugs and started adding unneeded features, and made their pricing very expensive.
