A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

The recent release of the Raspberry Pi Pico ( <https://youtu.be/o-tRJPCv0GA> ) is a *game changer* for Kotlin entering the *Embedded* development space. Looks like Kotlin Native's C interop would work well with the SDK ( <https://raspberrypi.github.io/pico-sdk-doxygen/examples_page.html> ), in theory. Seems as though all use of C Macros in the SDK is restricted to constants/enums which Kotlin Native already supports out of the box, which is *extremely good luck* considering many embedded C libraries heavily use Macros as part of the public API in non trivial ways (very common). Hardware specs look beefy enough ( <https://datasheets.raspberrypi.org/pico/pico-product-brief.pdf> ) to run a Kotlin Native program. LLVM already supports the ARM Cortex M0+ CPU ( <https://github.com/martinribelotta/cortex-m-llvm/issues/3> ).

How soon can the Kotlin team get started on adding *rpiPico* (Raspberry Pi Pico) as a Kotlin Native *bare metal* target?
