My newest article is just published - this time I share my experience with trying to get my Ktor application to a native image: <https://medium.com/@inzuael/ktor-first-steps-with-the-creation-of-native-images-5e552c649f37>

TBH, that all seems like a total nightmare. We've trained our industry to rely on magic and illusion, and hence the process of getting this stuff to work is pretty much the same as the voodoo  required to build your average JS frontend. We as an influencing force really should be encouraging the use of non magic tooling and libraries. :upside_down_face: 

Absolutely. I was really shocked how much manual work was necessary to just get a basic application running. Especially the Java libraries relying on reflection are a big pain.
