In the Kotlin multi platform build I just pushed I had to disable kapt as gradle isn't detecting it

like I mean gradle gives an error

so it means the build is red because GenOf isn't found

I see, we've seen issues unless the apply plugin for kapt isn't declared on top of the file

That's the gradle file

that looks right. I asked in the #kapt channel

It was on the jvmMain sourceset

but really it should be on the commonMain

You only compile arrow-meta for jvm at the moment right ?

yes because we have an internal hack still in coroutines where we have to read the stack labels and set them after flatMap

and it uses reflection

fair enough

we are looking for a fix in the base continuations to support multishot continuations

but that has to be done in the std lib

we discussed with Roman and we are looking for some time and effort to look into fixing it, which needs to be before 1.0

right

hows your typeclass KEEP going

it's being submitted now at the end of March in a couple of weeks tops

do you think they'll proceed with it

We have a working implementation with some limitations due to how inlining works and we've asked for help but everyone in the compiler team seem busy with other stuff at the moment

The compiler is a big beast and there is not much docs

it's a trial an error thing for the most part.

I think if it's not accepted and it does not take form in some other way it would be bad for Kotlin in general not just for FP

all langs around mobile etc already have family of extensions functions

it's a basic feature in modern langs whther it's through implicits or coherent resolution

Swift has it

Typeclasses are a feature that transcends FP. I'm not a Pure-FP'er by any stretch yet I think typeclasses and pattern matching are essential if kotlin is to seriously challenge scala

yeah Type classes can free all these hordes of devs from the issues of sub typing even for OOP

and compile time DI which is huge
