That’s deeply philosophical reflective subject, though, you need to think out of the box, like Kotlin Native team…

There no straight forward slideshare translation. Is it?

Управление памятью. Ручное или автоматическое?

(Memory management. Manual or automatic?)

In some cases, objects can be freed immediately, instead of leaving them for concurrent GC as JVM does. An example of this case is iterating an Iterable and leaving/freeing an Iterator. This can be useful in very hot loops.

Doesn't the JVM do that? Wouldn’t escape analysis cover that except if you leave your thread?

Mixed red count and cycle collector is a really pragmatic combination. Kotlin keeps up with its spirit :). Only if we get to download the compiler now...

stalking https://github.com/orangy?tab=repositories 🧌, nothing so far at the horizon..

I am pretty sure this will show up in https://github.com/kotlin

We're the early ones who'll make it popular. It should come under Kotlin Lang main repo first. Someone, create a GitHub poll and integrate with slack ;)

What is the main goal of Kotlin Native?

did you see the Tetris game above running on both iOS and Raspberry Pi (without a JVM)? 🙂

I didn't, but now yes

So sexy, thx 💯

how close is kotlin-native to being released?

Pretty close 🙂

But not released, EAP and OSS

@orangy Does this channel replace #multiplatform? If not, what is the distinction?

It does not, Kotlin Native is a compiler into native code, multiplatform is a system to allow for shared code across platforms. Eventually multiplatform system will support Kotlin Native, of course.

But multiplatform is temporary suspended because priorities.

Ah, I understand. Thanks

So Andrey is going to talk about kotlin-native https://gist.github.com/abreslav/217e1f960b52c8b77bebf58ed1ab299b

So memory management will be modular? Meaning we can opt in for manual as well?

I think better to say “pluggable”, you can theoretically plug GC, ARC, etc.

Manual as well? Where determinism is very important?

With pluggability it's a win win situation for all by the way. Smart.

So, will kotlin-native be released on 4th of April?

We are not preparing a release, it's more an early access plus oss

Closed or open?

Open source

Sure. I mean preview released
