kotlinlang

Hello. I want to make a desktop application that uses the <https://examples.vtk.org/site/Java/|VTK library>. Since vtk supports java binding, I want to bind with kotlin and configure the UI with a <https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/compose-multiplatform/|compose multiplatform> supported by jetbrain, is that a good way?

If anyone has done it before, please give me some advice. :slightly_smiling_face:

I don't know vtk, but creating a compose "runtime" is quite possible. If you want an officially sample, I suggest the html runtime, because it is very small and simple: <https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/tree/master/html/internal-html-core-runtime>, which contains the Applier, and <https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/blob/master/html/core/src/jsMain/kotlin/org/jetbrains/compose/web/elements/Base.kt> which contains the basic nodes.
