After all cpp is also getting coroutines as state machine now.

Not a nice Tetris gif, but…

@dh44t does it look so scary? 🙂

A little bit

But, why?

what's a kexe?

File extensions don't mean anything

(well, unless you're on Windows, because it isn't smart enough understand mime)

📣 what is C library you think interoperability with should be a must or even included out of the box eventually?

libc/glibc

at least

serialization / json / xml

what specific library?

i only used C++, so i'm not sure about the C ones

I think focusing on the basic libs will be enough to begin with. Mine would be glibc, libcurl, jansson or any better JSON parser

Then community will try their favorites and report issues until eap reaches GA

I'd like to have Flatbuffers and Protocol Buffers compatibility in Kotlin native (in the JVM/Android, I can already use the Java compatibility of these two binary serialization formats)

Yeah, of course, we expect community to do a lot in the area of various native libs support, but each roundtrip would take time and we want as much as possible to work out of the box, so quick check before we open up would be nice. I just tried libcurl and it doesn’t work because

curl_easy_setopt

is not correctly converted to .kt, it misses vararg part. Honestly it (curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html) looks a lot like JavaScript, but anyway, we need to make sure it can be workarounded or otherwise supported.

Cool. That'll be helpful.

I think libssl 2 might also be very useful in the base toolbox of libs. If you could also check that, it'll be great

I think it would be nice to have something like golang `syscall`/`os` packages to cover the POSIX Apis https://golang.org/pkg/syscall/#pkg-index https://golang.org/pkg/os/#pkg-index Also interop with

openssl

lib 😄

@orangy I care a lot more about kotlin being able to call into iOS code and iOS code being able to call back into kotlin.

Why would you want to use a native json lib? If the runtime is efficient enough much better to do parsing and serialization in Kotlin.

@pcarrier yes you are right, i'm just too lazy xD

I never wrote a json/xml parser

@sksk I'd expect a JSON parser to show up pretty damn quickly after native goes public, if not before

I had to write a JSON parser as an interview question. it fits in a 2-hour window.

that's an intense question XD

Honestly it doesn't fill a need, things are only made if they fill a gap or serve a purpose, as you said, why would you need to do that in native

Maybe like, embedded..I guess
