knock knock end-of-march dev preview of KN is still exciting and awaited 😉

Speaking of.. are you aware of some reading on the subject?

? (didn’t get your question)

Cool. Thanks @suresh

I would probably try JavaFX for a desktop application. Another option is little things with libgdx

Where is “native” in these options? Both look like normal Java apps?

I would factor out the business logic of our existing android & ios app acording to a clean architecture approach and share it between android (Java) and ios (native)

Kotlin-native should be great fit for 3D graphics👍

I would maybe think of switching from Go for writing my own language if your LLVM bindings were public API.

Libgdx is pretty great. There's even a regular app written in it, even for the ui, http://esotericsoftware.com so it's all pretty flexible

My First project will be to write binding for SFML, then make a game 😛

@mg6maciej I don’t think it will be suitable for your own language…

Why not? 🙂

Something like a common runtime/bindings suitable for reuse is a non-goal, so I doubt it would be (re)usable outside of Kotlin

And it is sure not JVM bytecode to native transpiler, so doesn’t suite RoboVM or Intel MoE scenarious. It’s Kotlin backend + runtime, that’s it.

Oh, ok. If you are not trying to make LLVM bindings easy to reuse, then you are of course right.

Would probably be command line utilities / API (using ktor, for example) on my side.

I don’t think ktor can be compiled to native any time soon

Will Native have any network capabilities?

For a start only with native interop to sockets (we have a working sample of echo server). Later we will likely include some networking as a separate library.

Ok. Let's do something.. I'll wait and see what you guy come up with 🙂

I guess someone from community will create simple version of Rails or something like that a few days after you release.

I want to buy and ErgoDox keyboard and alter the firmware with Kotlin Native

@orangy My goal would be to use kotlin native on my team to write a shared library between Android and iOS. Assuming interop is good enough with ios, we'd be able to potentially share our entire network, and persistance layers (Maybe model?). If interop was REALLY good we might even be able to share presenters across screens.

i would use it for any cli app/utilities..hopefully one day i can use it wherever i am using golang to create self contained binaries for linux/mac 😄

Thanks for sharing! Keep it coming 👍

I would also use it for sharing at least business logic between Android, iOS and the web. I'm also dreaming about the day we can stop gushing about ReactNative.
