03/24/2017, 12:35 AM@orangy hey, will you guys provide an example getting kotlin code running on iOS when the EAP is released?🙏 2 - r

03/24/2017, 12:38 AMMaybe the game that they showed will be the example for iOS/raspberry. - o

03/24/2017, 3:04 PMi'm going to port all my dev bash scripts to kotlin-native...👍 2K 2 - e

03/24/2017, 3:04 PMno more arrays in bash! - o
orangy
03/24/2017, 3:40 PMRight, experimenting with libgit2 now 😉 - c

03/24/2017, 3:45 PMOf course you will call it “kit" - o
orangy
03/24/2017, 3:45 PMNope - c
curioustechizen
03/24/2017, 3:45 PMOr maybe kit10 - s

03/24/2017, 3:45 PMkit10... lol - o

03/24/2017, 3:47 PM10x 4 idea - c

03/24/2017, 3:47 PMDoes it count towards my points for getting early access to kotlin-native? 😄 - o
orangy
03/24/2017, 3:48 PMPlaying with libgit2 it seems that it’s going to be TEAP 🙂😁 1 - o
orangy
03/24/2017, 3:48 PMtoo early access 😉 - s
spierce7
03/24/2017, 3:51 PM@orangy why's that? - o
orangy
03/24/2017, 3:51 PMtoo rough for now, but it works! - s
spierce7
03/24/2017, 3:51 PMrough how? interop with the c library? - c
curioustechizen
03/24/2017, 3:55 PMAnybody want to hazard a guess as to how long will it take between kotlin-native EAP announcement and the first blog post “comparing” the various cross-platform options? Pitting it against ReactNative, J2Objc, Flutter, Xamarin? My guess is 2 weeks 😄 - o
orangy
03/24/2017, 3:56 PMDoesn’t make any sense - c
curioustechizen
03/24/2017, 3:59 PMTrue, but will that stop someone from doing a comparison anyway? - s
spierce7
03/24/2017, 3:59 PMI think it will take a while before a comparison is done - d

03/24/2017, 4:14 PMThe natural comparison will be Scala Native👍 1 - s
spierce7
03/24/2017, 4:17 PMif it can be used to share code between android and ios, xamarin would be a good comparison - c
curioustechizen
03/24/2017, 4:20 PMbut remember kotlin to JS. So in theory you could share business logic between Android, iOS, web and even any desktop too. None of the other options have this potentialK 1 - o
olonho
03/24/2017, 4:32 PMthere may be some unexpected counterparts to compare with, once you'll see what we did 🙂🧌 5 - s
spierce7
03/24/2017, 4:32 PMFlutter does. I think Scala compiles to js as well. Actually Java does as well. Google used GWT and j2objc to compile java code to share on android, ios, and web. - c

03/24/2017, 4:35 PMDoes JB have some sort of “how to build up the suspense” training for all developers who join Kotlin team 😄🎓 4 - n

03/24/2017, 6:23 PMI think, later, the introduction to coroutines and the flexibility in memory management will open it up for system/network programming. Comparing golang, cpp - n
nimtiazm
03/24/2017, 6:25 PMOf course syntactically Kotlin is second to none of these but low level control and performance will be interesting to see.
