is it possible to add a dependency on some library in https://play.kotlinlang.org/?

rubber duck technique FTW, just found https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-playground/issues/119

Or https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-playground/issues/109, then you could hopefully use

@Depends

But yes, we think alike, I checked the same when reading the other thread 🙂

You could also request external dependency support and

.main.kts

support from JDoodle. They have Kotlin support but also only for normal Kotlin files and without dependencies. For Java they support defining external dependencies and for Groovy they added Grapes support (same as

@Depend

just for Groovy) after I requested it. I checked back half a year later and then it was available.

that’s cool! for Kotlin Playground, I imagine it would drastically change the architecture because you couldn’t have a single “warm” instance of the complier anymore

Hi there! Thanks for the question. Yep, unfortunately, it is not possible to do so now. However, we are considering this option and would like to add at least some limited list of popular libraries that can be imported (e.g., kotlinx.serialization). I can’t provide any ETA, but the Playground will become the main focus for our team in the second half of the year.

It is not a problem since the new Compiler Server was implemented a couple of years ago. It is just a Lambda function in AWS that instancing for each user request.
