Marcan reverse-engineered Apple's M1/2 silicon using only Kate and konsole.
Someone mains Kate for development? That's really cool actually, I've always just seen it as a better default text editor
He is the developer who reverse-engineered the whole apple silicon thing, and he did it with kate and konsole. lol. I have watched so many of his live streams on youtube, the dude even uses Gentoo with KDE. He is a genius.
Yeah, I had heard a few things about him, incredible work
So, it's an IDE? For what language(s)
It's a text editor.
I use it like I use notepad ++ on Windows.

It is pretty powerful. We use it in RKWard (GUI/IDE) for #rstats.
It supports many languages. Have a look at https://kate-editor.org/.
Looks like for everything there is plugins and lsp support for. Like vsc but not Microsoft.
It's a feature-rich text editor with LSP support. I suppose you could use it as a simple IDE, though I haven't tried it.
It supports many languages and it has LSP and DAP support. As long as there is a language server and debug adapter binaries, Kate should pick them up and work with the language. And if there's no default config, you can add your own.
Ah yes, the kernel's flavor
