In what ways are Amper not production ready?

[zsmb]

It's not recommended for production use at all, the project is still in an experimental phase. So anything might change at any time.

Hadi leaving the channel is not a good sign is it 😅

[zsmb]

Don't read too much (anything) into that 😄 He's historically been involved in lots of small topics directly, and now he's tending to higher-level things instead. So he's just removing himself from channels that don't need his direct attention.

Other questions I'd be interested to know the answer to:
• When it will production ready approximately?
• Are you planning to replace maven and gradle with amper for all Kotlin projects (not just mobile/multiplatform)?

[zsmb]

It's too early to talk about production readiness at this stage, we have no such timeline to share.

Amper can build JVM, Android, and iOS apps already. So that's not limited to mobile or to KMP. If you want to build a command-line or server-side JVM app, it's already possible. The depth of support varies of course, the first focus so far was the KMP and mobile case.

I think Amper could be something like cargo for Rust, it's natural for languages to have their own build tool tailored for specific language features/targets, Kotlin uses Maven and Gradle, but these two tools were developed for Java in the first place not for Kotlin, it's just my opinion though
