FModel v3.5.0 libraries have been released. For more information take a look at https://github.com/fraktalio/fmodel/releases/tag/v3.5.0 and check out our reference guide https://fraktalio.com/fmodel/ FModel aims to bring functional, algebraic and reactive domain modeling to Kotlin (multiplatform). It is inspired by DDD, EventSourcing and Functional programming communities, yet implements these ideas and concepts in idiomatic Kotlin, which in turn makes our code • less error-prone, • easier to understand, • easier to test, • type-safe and • thread-safe.

Hi! I wrote a small RPC library that provides the most convenient way (I think) for client-server communication. It’s experimental right now. I plan to use it in my own projects it will eventually mature. Feedback, ideas, criticism would be very welcome. I would like to see if there is any interest from the community to decide how much work I put into the polishing, documentation and ease-of-use (such as a FIR plugin for IDE feedback).
