John and Paul showed it at Devoxx US

unfortunately haven’t seen it myself since I had my own BOF in parallel =(

but I guess you can just reach out to Paul Sandoz, he most probably can offer some pointers

John Rose? and Paul who?

Sandoz

seems I left Hotspot earlier than he came 🙂 (worked with most other guys in this list http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/announce/2014-June/000172.html)

hehe

I haven’t… several people tried to convince me to join though over the years 😄

anyhow don’t expect it to work out when it comes to HR 😉

let’s say not the typical oracle employee kind of CV 😉

olonho: Is any sample on Android NDK with Kotlin Native planned?

Android now supports the Kotlin programming language At its I/O 2017 developers conference today, Google announced Android is gaining official support for the Kotlin programming language, in addition to Java and C++. The news received the biggest applause from the audience so far. You can download the Kotlin plugin today for Android Studio. 1 reply olonho: Is any sample on Android NDK with Kotlin Native planned?

just like Net library in Nodejs

Using C net library is a little complicated.

probably depends on what net means to you. any specific protocol or sockets in general?

just like https://nodejs.org/api/net.html

now lots of native code requires network operation

at first, socket is ok. and I think lots of guys will contrib the code just like Netty project

Or if to be specific, is Kotlin Native have a goal to be system programming language or native general purpose language ?

(just watched a presentation where graal lead said he’s inviting kotlin/native and scala/native to collaborate with them:

don't you fear this type of Kotlin Native will be competed by Kotlin itself on JVM and languages like Go and others? While if you would go into RAII or Ownership-like system you would cover other type of use cases for language? if you know there is a D language that can't compete for market share against c/c++ because it's stdlib was crafted with gc in-mind and he can't compete jvm/go/etc because they are much more popular already..

Hello, i have a question about Kotlin Native, how is team working behind Kotlin Native thinking about memory management? Will Kotlin Native try to compete with Rust with his ownership system or just will bundle another GC into runtime? 2 replies don't you fear this type of Kotlin Native will be competed by Kotlin itself on JVM and languages like Go and others?

Would be awesome to see LibGDX/kotlin behind more indie games. Especially major consoles like Playstation/XBox/Nintendo.

Does kotlin native have a garbage collector? 1 reply spierce7: it does have automated memory manager, popularly known as garbage collector, but it not based on global reachability analysis, using more local appriach basing on reference counting and cycle collector using trial deletion
